Create file icons at larger range of sizes #5

Closed IanMayo closed 9 years ago

We wish to register the Debrief file types with MS Windows.

MS Windows requires a .ico file that contains all of the resolutions.

So, we need an multi-resolution icon file that contains images at these sizes: 16x16, 32x32, 48x48, 256x256

We will need a .ico file produced that contains these images for each xxx_file.ai icon.

You may need to use an icon editor program (they are available for free).

Here is an article on multi-resolution icon files: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4354617/how-to-make-get-a-multi-size-ico-file

Here is a website that can create multi-resolution icon files: http://convertico.org/Multi_Image_to_one_icon/

I propose we adopt this folder structure for the icons:

  16/
  24/
  48/
  raw/
  ico/
    sensor_file.ico
    plot_file.ico
    track_file.ico
    png/
      plot_file_16.png
      plot_file_32.png
      [and so on...]
      track_file_48.png
      track_file_256.png

I have created an ico folder in debrief-icons , into that I have also created 16x16, 32x32, 48x48, 256x256 folders

Ok, I wasn't expecting that, since the folder will just contain 3 .ico files.

But, we do have to store the base images that get put into the .ico files, so that makes sense.
