I am not sure if this is new in 10.4 or not. If it isn't, I appologize, but I don't have a non-Tiger system to test it on. In the Finder, do a File -> Get Info on an item (application, image, whatever). Click on the small icon near the top (the icon pasting area) and hit Command-C to copy it. Now launch Preview and choose File -> New from Clipboard. The resulting new file will have all of the icon sizes and resolutions available for viewing/editing.

This did not work for me in 10.3.9...

Same here, doesn't work using MacOS 10.3.9. I tried copying the icons of both an application and a document.

No good on my system either:

In fact, you can even skip the "Get Info" step. Just select an item in Finder and hit Command-C ;-)

You have to be careful what you copy though. I did a quickee tryout of this with a PDF I have on my desktop and got the whole PDF instead.

This worked fine in 10.3.8.

I can't do this in 10.3.9. The "New from clipboard" command opens an empty window.
Re: Open all of a Finder item's icons in Preview
In 10.3.9, Preview extracts only the 32x32 icon and converts it to a PICT (no nice shadows and masks)--and that's all you get, a 32x32 PICT.

Apart from the fact that in 10.3 you only get a 32x32 Pict, what do you need Preview for in this hint? Any app that can handle bitmap images can be used for this. |
