If possible, I would like to be able to convert on the fly the HVIF
icon data to a svg binary data blob (and for legacy BeOS apps, convery
the B_ICON image data into .bmp data blob) so that I can display the
icon image in my dock.
The icon data is stored in an attribute attached to the application's
executable file. You'd somehow have to get this data, render it to an
off-screen bitmap and then use that in your QT program. Perhaps you
might find an example of this in the Tracker source code.
Or if you want to have it as SVG, you may need to use WonderBrush to
export it in that format. Or maybe there is already a Translator that
converts from icons to SVG? That would be the proper BeOS / Haiku (and
Amiga) way of doing the conversion.
