iconify.py 2.0 - bundle presized images as Windows or Mac OS icon files,
on any platform that runs Python: Windows, Mac, Linux, and more.
iconify.py -win imagesdir iconname # make iconname.ico from imagesdir/*
iconify.py -mac imagesdir iconname # make iconname.icns from imagesdir/*
iconify.py # input all parameters interactively
Author and copyright: © M. Lutz 2014-2017 (learning-python.com)
License: provided freely, but with no warranties of any kind.
Version 2.0, May, 2017: create Mac OS .icns files too, refactor to functions.
Version 1.0, Oct, 2014: initial release, Windows .ico files only, script.
Runs on Python 2.X or 3.X, requires Pillow (PIL) image library:
-fetch and install Python from https://www.python.org/downloads/
-fetch and install Pillow from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Pillow
This command-line script creates a ".ico" Windows or ".icns" Mac OS (X) icon
file from all the image files in a folder, per the policies described in the
generator functions ahead. It works on any Python platform -- you can use it
to make Windows or Mac icons on Windows, and Mac or Windows icons on Mac.
----
USAGE:
[py[thon]] iconify.py [icontype imagedir iconname]
where:
icontype is either "-win" to make a Windows .ico file,
or "-mac" to make a Mac .icns file
imagedir is the name of the directory holding your images
iconname is the icon file to create, without its .ico or .icns
Both imagedir and iconname are either a simple name (relative
to and located in this folder, ".") or a full directory path.
All three parameters are requested and input at the console
if omitted in the command line (e.g., on Windows clicks).
EXAMPLES:
On Windows, make a Mac myapp.icns from images in .\images:
C:\...> iconify.py -mac images myapp
On Windows, make a Windows myprog.ico from images in C:\icons\source:
C:\...> py -3 iconify.py -win C:\icons\source myprog
On Mac or Linux, make a Windows myprog.ico from images in ./images
~/...$ python iconify.py -win images myprog
On Mac or Linux, make a Mac myapp.icns from images in ~/icons/source
~/...$ python3 iconify.py -mac ~/icons/source myapp
On any platform, enter parameters interactively:
python iconify.py (or click this file on Windows)
----
PRESIZING IMAGES:
Before running iconify, first copy your (ideally large) original image to
the image folder and resize to lower dimensions for icon use as desired.
This can be done manually (e.g., via Paint on Windows or Preview on Mac),
or automatically with command-line tools (e.g., "sip" on Mac) or Python
scripts using image-processing libraries (e.g., Pillow).
For example, on Mac the included resize-on-mac.sh script uses "sips" to
automatically resize a 1024x1024 original to an images folder, with one
image for each common dimension (16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, and 1024).
This folder can then be used as input to iconify to make an icon:
./resize-on-mac.sh pyedit images-pyedit # resize 1024 to folder
python3 iconify.py -mac images-pyedit pyedit # make pyedit.ico
python3 iconify.py -win images-pyedit pyedit # make pyedit.icns
On Windows, it generally suffices to include a handful of resized images
(e.g., 512 and 256), but the full set may help. Linux icons are TBD; at
a minimum, a GIF, made manually or automatically, works for app-bar icons.
----
ICON FORMATS:
This code makes little sense without its target binary data formats:
For Windows icon file format, try:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICO_(file_format),
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms997538.aspx, or a search.
For Mac icon file format, see:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Icon_Image_format
https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/
GraphicsAnimation/Conceptual/HighResolutionOSX/
Optimizing/Optimizing.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40012302-CH7-SW1
----
TBD: could also PIL.Image.resize((32, 32)) if needed to shrink.
TBD: could rely on PIL for some manual actions here (e.g., loads).
TBD: could use PIL (PILLOW) to code a portable image resizer script too.

Write icon to already-opened iconfile for already-loaded imagedatas.

For Mac, uses only images of allowed fixed sizes, and codes them in the
icon for both standard and high resolution, the latter of which has 4
times the pixel density in the same screen-area size.
For example, a 512x512 pixel image is coded by this script as _both_
a 512x512 standard-resolution icon and a 256x256 high-resolution icon:
both "512x512" and "256x256@2x" in Apple-speak. A 1024x1024 is just
512x512@2x (there is no standard-resolution 1024x1024).
Hint: on Macs, "iconutil -c icns folder.iconset" is an alternative
if this script does not suffice, and "sips -z H W img.png --out new.png"
resizes images (but Mac uses a "best" if you don't provide all sizes).
See notes at the top of this file for more on resizing images for iconify.
