ADMIN NOTE: This plugin will not work in paint.net 4.0+. To get an updated version which will work, download TechnoRobbo's update in. -- Here is my icon and cursor format plug-in for Paint.NET Installation: Download IcoCur.Zip. Unzip the dll and put it in the 'FileTypes' folder in the Paint.NET directory. It will load and save.ico,.cur and.ani files (. Convert Files To Rtf. ani as of July 29, 2006). When loading from an icon or cursor file that contains multiple images, you are given a prompt and allowed to choose which image to load.

It always bugged me when there would be 3 or so images in an icon file and other image editors would just auto-load the low resoultion 8x8 one or something like that, so I added the feature to choose. Although I've never seen any, I suppose there could be icons with 16-bit image data; there is support for this, albeit untested. Please let me know what you think. The ability to open icons/cursors is a nice feature to have in PDN. One suggestion though, When I try to save an icon, it saves it as a 16/16 32bit.

Paint.NET saves ICO files with a. Paint.NET saving ICO files will allow you to use Paint.NET to create icons for. The original URL for this plugin doesn.

It would be nice if you had the option of what format to save an image as. Or, this one would be a bit more complex, an option to save an icon complete with multiple formats. I'm fairly new to PDN and.NET programming so I'm not sure if this is actually possible. Possibly either the ability to save multiple png/bmp etc. Files into one icon or, have the different formats all displayed on one image.
