Know any good icon extractor/editor? (All)

[Nilsson]

Hi all,

This isn't a software recommendation, but it's a software request so I hope I put it in the right forum.

I'm looking for a freeware icon extractor, capable of extracting icons from any file in the folder I pick. I've tried IconEditor (http://www.yankeeboysoftware.com>IconFinder</a>) but that also doesn't support more then 16 colors.

I've searched for programs on download.com and webattack.com, but there's so many of them, so I thought someone here might know of any good program...

Thanks in advance!
Regards, Per

Per,

Don't know of any GOOD freewares, but if you can spring $40.00 US, there's MicroAngelo at: http://www.microangelo.us/ You can DL a trial version to see what it's like.

Yeah, I like MicroAngelo a lot, but it's not quite what I'm looking for right now, sorry.
Thanks anyway!

Per,

Check out <a target="_blank" href=http://users.pandora.be/liontech/Downloads.htm>IconShop</a>

IconShop is an icon librarian that offers the tools to manage ICL icon libraries.
Read and write ICL icon libraries.
Drag and drop files and folders from the Windows Explorer onto the IconShop window to process them.
Drag and drop icons or icon images between IconShop windows.
Extract icons from Windows icons, cursors, animated cursors, BMP bitmaps, GIF bitmaps, TIFF bitmaps, XPM bitmaps, resources, executables and libraries.
Extract icons from Macintosh icons, resources, executables, IconDropper icon packs and Kaleidoscope schemes, including MacOS 8.5 24-bit and MacOS X 32-bit icons.
Export icons to icon, cursor BMP or TIFF bitmap format.
Tiny executable size.

It comes in two flavors:
IconShop 1.13
IconShop 1.20 Alpha Build 905
Both are freeware.

Thanks a lot, RickyD!

It seems to be just what I was looking for.
Now all I need is an icon editor capable of handling high color (i.e. 256 and more) icons...

Thanks again!
