Re: [MACTCL] IconServices and tkMacOSXBitmap.c

[Kevin W. <kw...@co...>]

P.S.

I know others have also asked about this, on this list or elsewhere--I 
believe Jeff Hobbs has noted that the Mac icns icon format is a bit 
opaque, and that writing a Tk extension to parse icns files is 
difficult. I believe that Tk on Windows can match icon files to file 
type via the ico extension (or TkImage) and parsing the registry. If I'm 
reading  the Carbon docs correctly, it isn't necessary to use so many 
steps on OS X: the Carbon frameworks should take care of most of this. 
The challenge is to get the IconRef data displaying in a Tk window.
