Programming and Scripting :: Fast icon converter (to xpm).

#!/bin/bash

# requires imagemagick.uci

#makes sure imagemagick is loaded; if not, loads it:

#*** EDIT path to imagemagick.uci ******
[ -d /opt/imagemagick ] || mydsl-load /mnt/hda3/imagemagick.uci

echo -n 'icon to convert? '
read ICON

#converts to .xpm file and places in dfm icon folder:

#*** EDIT path to $ICON ****
IPATH='/mnt/hda3/Downloads'

[ -f /$IPATH/$ICON ] && sudo /opt/imagemagick/bin/convert $IPATH/$ICON /usr/share/dfm/icons/${ICON%.*}.xpm

Edited the script so that it replaces the former icon name with .xpm vs just adding it on.

Edit: Put in IPATH var to simplify path edit.

Added drop & drag from any icon; converts to .xpm and sends to dfm icon directory.

# Works with drag & drop, argument <path/icon>, or double clicking.
# For double clicking, edit icon path in script.

if [ "$1" != "" ]; then
ICAN="$1"

#convert to .xpm file and place in dfm icon folder

Thanks J,

I just used this with drag and drop and it was very helpful.
