Finally got round to adding Alpha mask support to this thing. Hurrah
So now I can confidentially attach giant alpha masked images for no reason!
Terminal Command:
find / -name '*.icns' -exec mdimport '{' ;
Will import all Leopard icon files like the above, into spotlight, how useful!
Trying to find a way to create 512x folder icons, so far the only way that works is IconComposer, all other methods are broken/buggy
I've made a template in Photoshop with an action, that exports all the different sizes of an icon for you. As it does actually use different icons for the folder at each size to make sure it draws and reads properly at the respective sizes.
Just thought id waste even more time and hack my user account icon to have nice alpha masked background, harder than you may think:And almost as hard is how to take a screenshot of the loginwindow
;-)
