OK, I don't think it is realistic to ask the devs to change this
policy. They are committed to the HVIF format and they probably wish
all bitmap icons would just go away and die..
Actually, it was always planned that we also support actual bitmap
icons; it just never happened so far (you know, priorities :-)).
Hmm, will "catattr blablabla filename > filename.hvif" extract the
icon from an app? Anyone?
Not like this, but yes, you can extract the data using catattr (you'll
have to use its raw mode to achieve that, something like "catattr --raw
BEOS:ICON filename > filename.hvif").
From a Haiku host, it would be relatively simple to extract those
automatically, from a package -- at least when there is just one, it
wouldn't even have to guess.
I don't know if HDS can parse packages on that level, though.
Bye,
Axel.
