It's official! Gimp supports ICNS!
Well, it's not yet officially "official". But beta build of Gimp already supports ICNS file format.
Yes, the file format for icons that Mac OS uses.
Open, Create, Edit ICNS with Gimp 2.99.14 (the beta build I tested it on). As of posting, official Gimp is at 2.10-32.
It will also tell you if your icon size is supported or not! Sweet! No need to check the internet if a size is supported.
So, I created ICNS for Kage Studio with Gimp 2.99. I tested 16x16, 18x18, 24x24, 32x32, 36x36, 48x48, 64x64, 128x128, 256x256, and 512x512.
It was unreal using Kage Studio to create the icon for Kage Studio. Then exporting the Kage Studio icon from Kage Studio to PNG which Gimp obviously supports. Then use Gimp to downscale from high resolution to all the dimensions that ICNS supports.
Not sure who to credit for supporting the file format, maybe everyone on the ticket that was raised 2 years ago by cardcraft, that was finally closed just 3mos ago.
I so love Free and Open Source Software. What a time to be alive.
