NewSense,
(Nearly?) all things you ask are possible with MorphOS/Ambient so I imagine there must be some misunderstandings... I hope krashan & boot_wb covered most of them. If not, please ask.
Now, about the icon editor...
MorphOS' icon files are real PNG images. To edit them, you can use any image editor able to handle the PNG format. MorphOS comes with such an editor/paint program called Sketch. Sketch is part of MorphOS and you can find it in SYS:Applications/Sketch.
So, as such, there is no need to use an "external" or 3rd party binary to edit/create/change/save an icon...
Sketch can load any icon coming with MorphOS.
f.e. its own SYS:Applications/Sketch/Sketch.info icon file.
Sketch can also load any MorphOS' default icon.
f.e. ENVARC:sys/def_drawer.info
Quote:Quote:
I often use it to change a file's attributes and I certainly wouldn't like it adds an icon to it... because I would have to delete it immediatly afterward.
Why would you want to delete an icon under normal circumstances?
My point was: if I use the Information window to toggle the R_ead bit of Work:my.avi, I do not want it adds a never-wanted Work:my.avi.info icon file.
