Thank you Mathias for taking the effort of getting back here with your comment.
I’m really glad to hear it’s still useful for someone out there :)

Hi Adam,

thank you for creating this tool. It saved me a lot of work when I created the icons for my Visual Studio plugin.

Hi Adam,

Thanks for your kind words. I’m glad it could come to anyone’s use even after such a long time. In fact I’m surprised it still works :)

In the subject of the requested changes, I really don’t think I would be able to find the code for it any longer. It’s an old Delphi 6 or 7 app anyway, and you would be hard pressed to buy a compiler that would be able to build it now. I can try to dig it out it if you’re sure you can find the compiler, but I don’t think it’s worth the effort.

On a second thought I have released most of my code that I’ve done by that time to Stardock, you might potentially be able to get it from them, but seing how it was built over 5 years ago I really doubt they are storing it either. But someone might still have the original applets that were later integrated into the single exe.

Hi Adam,

I am having to work with a lot of files, that all need to be exported as TGAs. Your applet works great for this! I can’t believe how poor PS’s support for alpha channels are. It was driving me crazy, so I looked for alternatives, and came across this on wincustomize. I have been using it for a few days now, and was wondering if you have released the source? I would love to make the target format set to TGA by default, or remember my last choice. This would speed up my pipeline, and save some confusion when I forget to change the format :)

Thanks,

Adam
