Had some time to work with IQ. Very amazing piece of SW. I have a suggestion related to icons. I have hundreds of icons, many of which I would like to use with IQ. The problem is that they are all in .ico format. It is pain to have to take them, one by one, into PAINT and convert them. Many times, the conversions don't end up as nice. Any possibility that IQ could accept the .ico format in addition to .gif?

Looking forward to the next update!

You could use

From www.baxbex.com/products.html (at bottom of page) which supports converting many ico files to gif at once

Shell Extension for IrfanView

IrfanView Shell Extension is a Freeware Dll that adds the ability to call some IrfanView functions from within the Windows Explorer.

IrfanView itself is a fast FREEWARE image viewer/converter for Win9x/NT and Windows 2000.

You could find IrfanView athttp://www.irfanview.com

Alec,

That's a great find but my computer is locked down so I can't install any software. I use IQ in portable mode.

Let me check, I think that other file formats are possible

Also, if you can supply us with the image files (zipped), we can certainly convert them for you !

Pierre,

I'll do you one better. Here's the link. Turns out they are .png files.

The current version supports all image formats (i.e. gif, jpg, ico) with the exception of the png format.

HTH !

This will help a lot! Thanks for the update. I'm learning more about IQ every day.

PPL,

Confirmed that .ico filetype is supported!! It does, like the manual says, require a restart of the database file if the .ico file is added after IQ has already been started.

Good stuff!
