Create Windows icon -> script already written?

[rclobus]

Hello,

I'm looking for a script that creates Windows icons from an SVG image. I've seen in the repository that Iconify2.scm will create Windows icons, but is does not generate the large icons format at 256x256 (which I also would like to have).

Before I start to reinvent the wheel, is there already some script that creates the icon file that I can use/modify?
I'm a programmer (C, C++, Java, C#, gawk, etc...) so I could write/adjust existing scripts.

My goal: start gimp without GUI with the script and end up with an ICO file with the SVG nicely rescaled

So my two questions are:
1) Does some script already exist?
2) Should I use Script-Fu or perhaps some other tool?

I would suggest first trying to modify the line near the middle of iconify2.scm from:

Code: Select all

(mapcar resize-to-dim '(16 32 48))

to:

Code: Select all

(mapcar resize-to-dim '(16 32 48 256))

The script is somewhat dated, so perhaps some other changes will need to be made but it doesn't appear to employ any deprecated features.

Thanks for your reply.
I'll start by modifying the existing script.

I got it to work.
The updated script generates icons in 16x16, 32x32 and 48x48 sizes for 4,8 and 32 bits, and also a 256x256x32 icon.

Other modifications:
- The script cleans up the temporary images
- The names of each layer are not 'Work layer copy #..', but 'Work layer #..'
