Short: Additional filetypes for the NewIcons package
Author: Rod MacLean (ceerm@cee.hw.ac.uk)
Version: 1.0
Type: util/wb
Requires: any version of NewIcons...
Rods DefIcons.... 1/6/96
WHAT IS IT?
-----------
If you use DefIcons then maybe you'll have noticed that not all image formats
are recognised by the default brainfile.
I attempted to add a whole load of image formats which I (or friends) needed
to the standard set. Maybe a lot of them you wont need, but this set is now a
bit more 'inclusive', a lot of non-native image/video formats are now
included.
I have also included a list of some of the more common IFF image types. These
can be added to your own set if you need them.
No icons are included in this archive, the contents should be...
-------------------------
|deficons.i
|deficonsprefs
|deficonsprefs.a
|build
|Rods.DefIcons1.readme (this file)
|build
|FileTypes.Recognised
-------------------------
WHERE DID IT COME FROM?
-----------------------
Because of the nature of the package it was difficult to add image types in
any sort of precalculated way... when something wasn't recognised I added it!
Last week I also downloaded something called DefIconsUpd (another package like
this). I'm afraid I can't remember who it was by, if it's you then sorry! All
I got was the source code from the archive, the rest was corrupt.
I added fragments of the source code from this to my own brainfile if I thought
it was better in any way. I also modified the names of some of my classes to
suit.
WHAT ELSE IS THERE?
-------------------
There is a batch file in the archive called 'build' this can be used to build a
new brainfile and if the compilation is successful then the new brainfile will
be copied to ENV: and ENVARC:
A BIT MORE INFO
---------------
Anyway, this is my first release of this brainfile, hope you like it.
If you don't know how to add your own filetypes and would like me to do it or
if you can think of better ways to recognise the filetypes then you can email
me at:
R.MacLean@hw.ac.uk or ceerm@cee.hw.ac.uk

Hope this is of some use to someone!!
