Icotool does not support compressed image data

[Jan Nekvasil]

Binary package hint: icoutils

Icotool from icoutils 0.26.0-4ubuntu1 on Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick does not support compressed image data.

Steps to reproduce:

wget http://www.spotify.com/download/Spotify%20Installer.exe
wrestool -x -t 14 'Spotify Installer.exe' > icodump.dat
icotool -x icodump.dat

icodump.dat: compressed image data not supported

There is possibly a fix for this, see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=511944

My honest apologies for that chaos, I'm still getting used to launchpad.

I can confirm that icotool from icoutils 0.29.1 (released on 2010-02-28) works, only isn't able to extract only the one icon selected by its index. Instead it extract all compressed icons, from which can gnome-exe-thumbnailer easily pick the right one.

Do you need the new icoutils for the new exe-thumbnailer?

[Jan Nekvasil (jan-nekvasil)]

If I want to be able to make thumbnails for exes that use new "Vista" icon format (bunch of compressed PNGs), then, yes.

This bug was fixed in the package icoutils - 0.29.1-0ubuntu1
