B4J Question Standalone package ICON format

[Kevin Hartin]

I have tried numerous formats for the ICON fole, but always results in the same error;

d:\Documents\B4X\BmT Consumer\B4J\Objects\temp\build\BmT Consumer.exe: error CS1567: Error generating Win32 resource: Error reading icon 'd:\Documents\B4X\BmT Consumer\B4J\Objects\temp\icon.ico' -- The data is invalid.

What is the exact format needed to get this working? Is there a reliable tool or converter?

Thanks,
Kev

Thanks, I used it to create an ICO file, but still no luck.

I thought it may be something to do with a space in a directory name, so I elimanated that as well, but no luck...

What is the icon dimension?

 

[aeric]

I believe you also have the following line:

#PackagerProperty: IconFile = ..\Files\icon.ico

 

[Kevin Hartin]

What is the icon dimension?

72x72 32 bit exactly the same as an older project that compiles and packages correctly

I believe you also have the following line:

#PackagerProperty: IconFile = ..\Files\icon.ico

yes I have that too

@Kevin Hartin Check out the .ICO plugin for Photoshop. You can download it from here

 

[Kevin Hartin]

OK, it is solved. I used the https://www.lunapic.com/editor/ suggested by aeric and this time I uploaded a GIF rather than a PNG, resized to 72x72 and saved as a Windows ICO file.

I tried again using the PNG source and it failed, so it looks like the GIF source is the way to go. Strange because both came from the same photoshop file...

Thanks,
Kev

Ya strange. I never have problem with ICO converted from PNG image.

I always use 48x48 ico size and never faced problem of png to ico.
