icns

I'm trying to create an ICNS (including a 1024x1024 image) programmatically. Currently I'm creating an NSImage , then I create CGImageRef objects with the appropriate resolution, finally I'm adding them to an icon by using CGImageDestinationAddImage() . Peter Hosey has helped me create '@2x' images already, but the sizes of the images don't wanna be set. This is the code (still a bit messy, sourcefile represents the path to the image) : NSSize sizes[10]; sizes[0] = NSMakeSize(1024,1024); sizes[1] = NSMakeSize(512,512); sizes[2] = NSMakeSize(512,512); sizes[3] = NSMakeSize(256,256); sizes[4] =

OK this is what I want : Take some NSImage s Add them to an ICNS file Save it This is what I've done so far (purely as a test) : - (CGImageRef)refFromImage:(NSImage*)img { CGImageSourceRef source; source = CGImageSourceCreateWithData((CFDataRef)[img TIFFRepresentation], NULL); CGImageRef maskRef = CGImageSourceCreateImageAtIndex(source, 0, NULL); return maskRef; } - (void)awakeFromNib { NSImage* img1 = [NSImage imageNamed:@"image1"]; NSImage* img2 = [NSImage imageNamed:@"image2"]; NSLog(@"%@",img1); CGImageRef i1 = [self refFromImage:img1]; CGImageRef i2 = [self refFromImage:img2]; NSURL

I have an applescript which creates a shortcut on a desktop to an executable on the file system. The excutable has the standard exec icon . Is it possible to change the icon to point to say an icns file ? I've read you can do it using a third party program as mentioned in Change icon of folder with AppleScript? but is it possible without using an external program to do this ? This is my script set source_file to (POSIX file "path to my exectuable") tell application "Finder" make new alias file at desktop to source_file set name result to "My Shortcut" end tell Note: I can also create the same
