Better way to make icons in GIMP #6056

Open KoBeWi opened 2 years ago

KoBeWi commented 2 years ago

Your Godot version: 3.5

Issue description: I stumbled upon this when reading some discussion https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/export/changing_application_icon_for_windows.html#creating-an-ico-file The doc links a video tutorial to make icons in GIMP. But there is a much better way. There is a plugin for GIMP called "iconify" that does the same thing as in the video, but with a single click. I think it's worth to mention it in the docs.

The plugin registry, where I originally got the plugin, seems to be dead, but here's some archived page (I think?): https://github.com/pixlsus/registry.gimp.org_static/blob/master/registry.gimp.org/files/iconify2_1.scm Not sure how do you install this now.

Does the plugin work with the latest GIMP version? Is it expected to work with GIMP 3.0 which should come out in 2024 if it follows release plans?

If not, I'd prefer not to link to it.

I tested it and it doesn't work in 2.99.16. It wasn't updated in years, so I guess it's not a viable option (unless someone updates it .-.)
