I uploaded some of my very first works, the ObjectDock icons, all in 128x128 PNG. Then I waited. And today I received an email telling me that my uploads were all rejected The reason was, as they said, file must be in ZIP format, when I uploaded pure PNG. But how about this guy?

[Note: link died, as was taken care of ]
His work is in PNG, not zipped.
I'm totally discouraged. Please help!

Does this include PNG's?

ICO only means ICO only. PNG is not ICO, is it?

Another reason for a Dock Icon section...

Pardon the blasphemy , and correct me if I'm wrong.

Can't other dock programs use PNGs not just Object Dock?

I don't know for sure since the only dock I've tried is the free Object Dock.

I think all dock programs do use png. They can also be used with DX and IconX.
They are multi use not just for docks, so maybe a section for png icons that reflects the flexibility of them.

That's a very good point.

That makes sense.

Another thing is....any icon can be converted to a png in the blink of an eye...so as far as I'm concerned they are one in the same to some extent...the only difference being file size and extension name.

In addition to that in the Misc Icon library I have often seen pngs come packaged along with icons.

But basically...no one else should even worry about it since I don't see this changing any time soon...its just a gripe I've had for some time now. At his point I'm contemplating just moving my docks out of Object'Icon'Dock to my gallery, and if the powers that be ever make an actual library for Object"Dock" then I'd move them in there.

The ObjectDock library should probably just be for docklets and ObjectDock backgrounds. That will make things a little easier to find... Maybe shunt the png's into Graphics, or a new library?

I have used several dock programs, and all use png...I stopped using other programs, well, cause, why have them when you've found the best OBJECTDOCK!
so yes, I agree with this png icon library idea...sounds good to me
and, by the way, Who let Po' in here anyhow!

Well...maybe one day...we can dream anyway!

Well I guess this idea is once again dead in the water.

Well then...I have a few more submissions I'm waiting to upload and then that will be it until the ObjectDock library gets the same respect as the other libraries. I'm just tired of docks & docklets getting buried by icons/pngs that already have they're own library. I will continue making docks, because I enjoy doing them, but I won't be uploading them anymore until ObjectDock gets its own library once and for all.

Why don't you drop an e-mail to Zoomba with your thoughts. He listens

I'll give it a shot Fuzzy...thanks for the thought.

Ok...emailed Zoomba...now we wait and see.

I understand your frustration, but as been said several times...... until something changes, there is no other library for PNG dock icons. They are not allowed in the Misc Icon library. And come to think of it, the Misc Icons library didn't exist until long after the ObjectDock library.

I've said it before, the Misc Icons section was meant for additional add-on packages for Icon Packager. Unfortunately the excellent 'icon a day' series opened the floodgates for people uploading single icons.

The Object Dock section was for all OD related items. No-one could foresee the huge number of icon uploads we currently get.

The whole thing has got messy and blurred. It's up to the 'powers that be' to sort it out
