Icon2Image 1.2.2

Icon2Image is a very useful contextual menu plug-in that you use to convert file, folder and disk icons into images. Any image format supported by your installed version of Quicktime is available for conversion.
Once the plug-in is installed (directions for installation are below) simply Control-click on items in the Finder to display the menu. (Control-click means that you hold the control key down as you mouse-down on an item.) With the menu displayed select a menu item named after the resulting image file to perform the conversion.
Images are saved in the Icon2Image folder, created in the Documents folder of your home directory. You can use the menu item Go to Icon2Image folder... to quickly access the images.
Each menu item below the Go to Icon2Image folder... item displays the name of the image file created, as well as the description of the file type (as provided by Quicktime).
For example, if you selected the Desktop.bmp (BMP) menu item in the sample menu above, then Icon2Image would create an image file in the BMP format named Desktop.bmp in the Icon2Image folder of your Documents folder.
Note that the menu may look different on your Mac. The menu items are determined by the Quicktime compressors installed on your system.
To install: Simply place the plug-in into your "Contextual Menu Items" folder located in one of the following locations:
/Libray/Contextual Menu Items
In this location the plug-in will be accessible to all users.
~/Library/Contextual Menu Items (i.e. home directory Library)
In this location the plug-in will be accessible to just you.
Create the "Contextual Menu Items" folder if necessary.
Then logout of your account and back in to load the plug-in.
Version restrictions:
- The demo is fully functioning except that images are saved in reduced sizes (96x96) rather than full sizes (128x128), and the menu has a Register... menu item (see picture of menu below).
