Here is the AROS version, the Amiga version including the binaries and source code for each.

Thanks miker, IconSplitter works fine on AROS One, is there a GUI planned for IconSplitter in the future?

AMIGASYSTEM

The AROS version in the next update will have a GUI to make it easier for users to save images. There may be a simple menu system to choose which images to display, two at a time.

The planned GUI will look similar to this mockup. It has two image display areas and two buttons. The buttons at the bottom will say "Save Image" for both images to save them independently. Drop an icon on either display area and it will be split into images which are then displayed. It will make more sense when the GUI is working.

For the AROS version the user can choose to use the GUI or use the commandline instead. There will be a few switches such as -o, -n, -t. The first switch opens the GUI but messages are printed to the shell, the second one forces to split new icon images if present, the third requests to save Targa instead of PNG images.

The Amiga version will remain a CLI version with a few planned improvements. Hopefully by then Amiga Datatypes support will be working and maybe support for zlib to compress or uncompress image data.

Thanks miker, in the meantime I have integrated it into Dopus4, where you can split and save images with one click.

On Dopus4 I couldn't decide to save in the path of the second window because you set RAM as the destination.

To split and save images the temp images are saved to Ram Disk but they are saved in a specific way. OS35 icon images are saved as img1.iff & img2.iff. New Icon Images are saved as img3.iff & img4.iff. PNG images are saved as img1.png & img2.png. OS4 & AROS ARGB Images are saved as img3.png & img4.png.

Depending on the style of icon that we are splitting you know what the resulting filenames will be. You can just copy the temp images to the selected filenames. That's for the current version. For the next update it may be better to save to the same directory as the icon using the Icon name + _1.iff etc. to make things easier. :-)


As for practical uses, if you have several OS4 icons that look really nice and you want to use them for AROS then use the Icon Splitter to split them into PNG images. Then use IconDrop or some other app to make New Dual PNG Icons.

For that purpose I'm planning another icon tool "ConvertIcon" that will convert from one icon style directly to another icon style. Such as convert an OS4 icon directly to a Dual PNG Icon, or PNG Icon to OS4 Icon. It will be very useful.

I'm currently working on Icon Press to revise the code for saving icons. There is much work to do. I will probably spend the next six weeks on this project then I will release a new version of it.
