Column property to show number of sub-images in ICO file?

[kunkel321]

It must be possible.... There is a TC plugin that somebody wrote a long time ago...



I remember that somebody recently posted a loonnnngggg list of Windows properties that can be used in xyCCs, but I can't find the list(?) I searched but couldn't find it. Also tried a Google search but it just yielded developer stuff... Thoughts?

Trivial, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICO_%28fil ... _structure

The number you want is at pos 4/5 (in real life always pos 4, never saw an icon with more than 256 images), just read it using a Custom Column with a script. Somebody here will show the way...

(Is this a deja-vu? It seems to me we did this before somewhere/when...)

Why not add ICO support to Get('CountIcons')?

The item filter is based on the documentation for Get('CountIcons') with the addition of ico.

Cool thanks guys!

LOL. I remembered requesting the previous feature, but I'd forgotten about the dinosaur.

Question: Don, in your screenshot, "Custom Column 28: Icon Count" is the same setup used to extract the number of ICO files in a DLL. (With the exception of the 'item filter' of "ico.")
Will that cause a conflict, or does it mean that the same CC template can be used for each (number of icons in dll or number of images in ico)?

Yes, you can use the same column for all. Just take care that "ico" is mentioned in the filter among the other file types you are interested in.

It works like a charm! Thanks for adding this Don!

Of course now I have to decide if my default columns should show ICO dimensions, or image counts. (first world problem, lol)
