Icon Manager Version 1.1A 4/11/91 Icon Manager supercedes our previous PBIcon application for icon design. Any users who have registered for PBIcon may deduct their $10 PBIcon registration from the cost of registering Icon Manager. An operations manual is included with this release in the file ICONMAN.WRI. This file is in Windows Write format and has been formatted for an HP LaserJet or PostScript printer. Instructions are included at the top of the file for printing on other printers. We apologize if you find that this format is not the most suitable for your requirements. Our goal is to produce the highest quality product using the tools available to all users. Using Windows Write provides the sharpest hardcopy output with the most flexibility for user re- formating. This manual contains complete installation and operation information as well as an educational overview of icon file types. We suggest that you take the time to print and review the manual to get the best results and the most enjoyment from Icon Manager. For the impatient folks that would like to jump right in, you can simply copy all of the release files to your hard disk, preferably into their own subdirectory such as "C:\ICONS". An install utility is included which can be executed with the format "INSTALL d: dir" where "d:" is the drive to install to (remember to include the colon) and "dir" is an optional sub-directory ("ICONS" will be used if "dir" is not specified). NOTE: This release may include several sample files containing icons which have been collected on a major, international, electronic data service. Although some of these icons are derivatives or enhancements of commercial program icons, it is not the intention of Impact Software to distribute any material that its creator(s) or legal owner(s) would object to. We will immediately remove any icon(s) which is brought to our attention as proprietary in nature and should not be freely distributed. Version 1.1 Update Notes The following changes have been made since release 1.0: - A program error which wrote an icon library to another Icon Manager filename the second time the library was saved has been corrected. - The screen re-painting logic has been enhanced to avoid as much repainting as possible. A considerable amount of re- painting has been eliminated when an icon window is resized, resulting in a significant performance improvement. - The re-sizing logic for icon Windows has been updated to allow you to 'drag' a window open past its right and bottom bound- aries. This is much more convenient for finding space to place new icons and also lends itself to a faster screen repaint. - The icon library read routine has been modified to read icon libraries created with ICONDLL2 without an Unrecoverable Application Error occurring. This was required because the resource directory in ICONDLL2 icon libraries deviates slightly from Microsoft's documented structure. - An additional feature in the Bitmap Tool's screen/inverse color dialog now allows the viewing background color to be changed by clicking any color button with the right mouse button. - A correction has been made to insure that the user is prompted and file saves are completed for any files which have been changed before the program exits.
