IDE: Icon file for each platform

Got an idea for enhancing PureBasic? New command(s) you'd like to see?

IDE: Icon file for each platform

Post by Polo »

Would it be possible to be able to have 3 selectors for each platform for the app icon?
When trying to compile a project from OSX on Windows, each time I have to switch from the .icns to the .ico, I'd really like to be able on OSX to put one file for window and one other for OSX so I don't have to switch no more :)

.....and a 64bit icon is best for 64bit Windows too.

Why do 64-bit apps need their own icon designation?

All my 32-bit apps install/run fine with their incons on Wind7 x64 ?

...because on Win7 64bit (and up?) they can be bigger.

They seem to scale nicely here, regardless

...that will only be true if the graphics are simple, not withstanding that a Win7 icon can actually be 256 x 256 32bit colour!

Add on to feature request:
Mac Lion support 512x512 icons (which are needed for Appstore submission), PB makes them 256x256 (i think) so you manually have to change the icon...
Request: please, allow 512x512 icons Mac OS :-)
