[comp.sys.amiga.tech] Help with Icons... I better clarify...

jac423@leah.Albany.Edu (Julius Andrew Cisek) (02/20/89)

It seems I better clarify my problem. I create  two  icon  images  using
DPaint  II.   I  save these images as brushes. Next I use the Brush2Icon
program to make a Disk1.info and Disk2.info. Finally I use IconMerge  to
put  the  two together to a Disk.info file which I later put in the root
directory of a disk. Now, obviously, there's more to an .info file  than
just  the  icon  as clicking on the result icon has no effect (as if the
icon wasn't 'attached' to the disk)... What do I need to correct this?

Brush2Icon does not create a "disk" type icon.  Click on it once, then
select Info from Workbench's menu and you will see what type of icon it
is.  You can use the SIT program from Fish disk #137 to Set Icon Type to
type "disk".  Pop the disk out of the drive, then Workbench will recognize
it the next time the disk is inserted.
