Submit portable freeware that you find here. It helps if you include information like description, extraction instruction, Unicode support, whether it writes to the registry, and so on.

#1 Post by I am Baas »

Icons from File
Tool for extracting icons or icon arrays from files (EXE, DLL, OCX, etc.) with ability to scan folders to search for EXE, DLL and OCX files, which contain icons.

Extracted icons can be saved (exported) to file - all or selected icon to ICO, BMP, JPEG, EMF files and all icons as one picture to BMP, JPEG, or EMF file. There is an ability to extract and save all icons from all files in selected folder at once. Also, all icons from the selected file can be exported to HTML document (.htm, .html) or dBase 5 file (.dbf). Saving high color icons (wich have more than 16 colors) is also possible. Export operations can be performed also via command line.

There is an ability to print extracted icons (all or selected only).

I'm collaborating with the author in these weeks.. he is helpful and accepted to add fully portable support, so now it is possible to uncheck "Save Settings to Registry" and use it from pendrive. :wink:

Is it contagious? Whats the difference between you (I am Baas) and another user called Baas, seems strange you both have the name Baas, does it mean something?

Yes, they both are Baas :)

I guess there was a frustration going on when Baas noticed that there's already a Baas at PFC and then he wanted clearly state that he _is_ Baas. Right? :)

I am him and he is me... I just couldn't login as Baas and wanted to indicate that Baas and I am Baas are one and the same.

Although I encourage you to do non-Internet things like outside and meet girls/guys, I'm glad you're putting your efforts towards a kind of community benefit. I'm certainly one of the thankful recipients of your efforts.

@ guinness: Yes, it's extremly contagious. Especially for TPFC-users :lol:

@ I am Baas: Sorry, we won't give you any medicine. Because we like you to go on finding such good apps for us. :wink:

Check it.. this new release may keep the registry fully clean and remove registry key if option is selected (this is what the author said me). :wink:
