[ID3 Dev] ID3V2 Icon

[Dale Preston]

Thank you.  I still don't have the icon.  One response suggests that there's
no time to develop one.  I guess that person didn't know that the icon
already exists.  Others suggest that IE should just download the icon but it
doesn't.   The HTML in the page is not a link to the file nor does it offer
the address of the file.  The HTML calls a script that retrieves and renders
the file.  I have viewed the source of the page and there is no way to get
the icon URL from that code.  

 

Whoever created the new site just made a mistake.  If you render a Win32
icon as an image, you get an image, not an icon.  A Win32 icon is not a
bitmap but rather a collection of bitmaps.  While I am sure the code for
rendering the images, rather than simply letting the web server and HTML
render the images, is real nifty but it is a mistake to use it for rendering
icons.

 

It is getting really frustrating.  I guess it was too much to ask for one of
those who have the full icon to just email it to me.  One was able to email
a reply to my request stating how to get the icon with wget - apparently a
program but I am not familiar with its use - and stated that he had the
icon.  It seems it would have been just as easy, perhaps easier, to simply
email the icon as I had pleaded.

 

Thanks for trying, Manuel.

I know it's a bit late for this answer but unfortunately i'm not able to
check my emails regularly.
If you want to get the icon file just copy the adress of this file and
insert it into the adress field of your browser. Then you might be able to
download it. At least Firefox offers me to download it then.

Maybe it's an IE 7 issue.  I still don't get the image in the developer info
page but the link you included here shows a picture - just not the whole
icon file.
 
If you're able to get the ico file, would you mind emailing it to me?  It
would surely be appreciated.
 
Thanks,

On the ID3.org Developer Information page, there's a place that is 
supposed to show an icon for ID3V2 but it isn't displaying correctly and 
even if it were it would not provide access to all of the embedded 
versions of the icon.  Is there a way to download the full ICO file?
    

 
All the graphics seem to be displaying properly.  Here is a link to the 
  .ico image, or you can right click on the image and save it.
