This software enables users to convert files, folders, and disk icons to images conveniently for quick and easy sharing or customization purposes.
Icon2Image is a fantastic plug-in that can be used through the contextual menu to easily convert file, folder, and disk icons into images. With this helpful tool, users can convert any image format that is supported by the installed version of Quicktime.
Installation of the plug-in is straightforward, and once it is complete, users can simply Control-click on items in the Finder to bring up the menu. From there, they can choose a menu item named after the desired image file and perform the conversion.
All images saved from the conversion are stored in the Icon2Image folder, which is created automatically in the Documents folder of the user's home directory. To quickly access the saved images, users can choose the 'Go to Icon2Image folder...' menu item.
Each menu item below the 'Go to Icon2Image folder...' option displays the resulting image's filename and its file type, as provided by Quicktime. The menu may vary depending on the installed Quicktime compressors on the user's system.
The installation process is easy to follow, and users can place the plug-in in the "Contextual Menu Items" folder situated in either /Libray/Contextual Menu Items or ~/Library/Contextual Menu Items. The former option makes the plug-in accessible to all users, while the latter ensures it is available to only the current user. If the folder does not exist, users can create it before logging out and back in to load the plug-in.
In summary, Icon2Image is an excellent tool for quickly converting file, folder, and disk icons into images with just a few clicks in the contextual menu. Its simple installation process and easy-to-use menu make it a must-have for users who regularly convert images.
