HVIF Haiku icon for my app "Video Backup Fusion"

Forum thread started by dynup on Mon, 2013-02-04 18:38

Hi all,

I'm an old BeOS user (since 1998) and I currently use the very good Haiku beside Linux. I developed (work in process) an Qt based app to download videos from video portals (YouTube etc.) named "Video Backup Fusion" sience 2011. It runs on Linux, Windows and MacOSX, I ported it to Haiku now. The app icon is in Gnome format (.png bitmap, 128x128), I try to build it new in HVIF format with Icon-O-Matic, but my results are poor. I want to publish ViBaFu for Haiku with a decent app icon!

Is here a graphic artist and can build the Haiku icon for me in HVIF format (.svg)?

Project home: http://dynup.de.vu
App icon: http://sourceforge.net/userapps/gallery/dynup/main.php?g2_view=core.Down...

Hope, anyone can help me!

Thanks!
Kai

Hi dynup, welcome.

The process is very simple. You can convert your png icon to svg format, so you can open this svg file with Icon-O-Matic and then export the image as HVIF icon.

In anyway i am impatient to try your software here in Haiku! :-)

I read the Icon-O-Matic manual already and can use the app. ...but I'm a developer and not a graphic artist!

If I import the converted svg image, nothing happens in Icon-O-Magic or the icon is destroyed!
