Last night, I was messing around with the ColorFinder INIT, and
noticed how annoying it is to have to use ResEdit to copy the
cicn/ICN# pairs, especially when the resource numbers may have to
be changed. Also, it was quite a job to locate files with cicn
resources already in them.
Today, I saw that Dave Platt had sent another version of ColorFinder
to Sumex, and that he suspects that this new version has more
icons.
It would sure be nice to have some software that would merge the
resources of a given type from one file into another. Also, it
would be nice to have a program that would search the system for
files with a given resource type.
Any help? (The statement "write it yourself, David" is acceptable
if you have any quick hints for me.)

Ditto. It would really help if Open General in ResEdit would sort the resources in numerical order so that the cicn and ICN# lists could be easily compared/maintained. It would be even better to be able to just extract the B/W icon from the cicn and paste it into the ICN#. CIconEdit can create cicn's from ICN#'s but requires selection by resource number and having both it and ResEdit running crashes occasionally. It's a great hack...ResEdit's Jack-in-the-box in color is how it should have been all along. Hopefully Apple will support color icons in the future and we won't have to do all this work. mike ching

Just add Resource cicn & Any to the list of search strings of version 3.0.1 and it will find all files that have any cicn resources.
