Description
IconFinder is a very simple program to search for and extract icon resources in files. No installer or uninstaller is necessary since it is a single executable file that only uses standard system API calls.
This is a major rewrite to address issues with the user interface, of which many people have complained about.
Review
Free and small, IconFinder holds true to its name by finding icons and doing little else. This no-frills, blandly designed executable exists only to look through a directory and show any icons contained in the directory files. We would expect that it could save the icons automatically as ICO files or as BMPs, but this option is not implemented. You can manually save each icon as an ICO file, but you even have to type the name with the ICO extension. Another big problem is that all extracted icons are in 16 colors. Users who need to extract one or two simple icons may find use for IconFinder, but there are many better products in the marketplace.
