The recently posted IconDesigner program is indeed a good icon
editor, but appeared to me missing one very valuable feature;
the ability to COPY an image from, say, the Scrapbook, into the
clipborad, and then PASTE it into the icon (with appropriate
shrinking/expanding to fit the selection rectangle, as needed).
True, this doesn't always yield a useable image, but if you
choose carefully it does, and can produce some very good looking
icons with a bit of cleanup.
Did I miss how to do this (the PASTE command is grayed after I
copy an image into the clipboard), or is it not there?
Otherwise, great work!
