Could damage your system! - Version: 1.3, 2/28/2007 04:19PM PST

I used this app the other day, and afterwards I found various programmes wouldn't open, including System Profiler, Acrobat Reader, Dictionary, Disk Utility, even Mac Help. Only after a re-start would they work again. I'm not saying I'm certain this application caused that, but I can't think of anything else I did out of the ordinary that could have done it.
Something I can say for sure is that when I opened System Profiler after re-starting and looked for clues as to what had gone wrong, this is what I saw under logs, console.log in regards to Pic 2 Icon:
The function CGSReadObjectFromCString is obsolete. Use of this function may cause an overall degradation in performance of this application, or of the system as a whole.
The function CGSCreateDictionary is obsolete and will be removed in a Tiger update. Unfortunately, this app, or a library it uses, is using this obsolete function, and is therefore contributing to an overall degradation of system performance.
Sounds really bad to me, especially as the app hasn't been updated in ages and the developer's website no longer exists. Steer well clear, unless using an old OS version.

The Best!! - Version: 1.3, 2/7/2007 11:49AM PST

Compared to DropIcon 3.0.2 this one creates beautiful anti-aliased icons! An update would certainly be nice, it's been literally years but this is still a gem. My only complaint is that every now and then an icon fails to update in the finder. other than that 5/5 super super super program. I've tried nearly all of them and this is the best combined with quicksilver! drag and drop away! i'm actually creating 10,000 icons as I type this in the background for my images!
And if you want an even cooler solution combine quicksilver with Pic2Icon and Xee 2.0 as your default image browser! Sweetness!

Couple of problems -
1. Don't run Adobe Illustrator .ai files through Pic2Icon - it screws up the resource fork (or something) - and the file icon disappears entirely. Had to remove the custom icon for each file (used FileBuddy) to restore.
2. This puppy will choke - if you feed it enough. Dumping a folder full of folders of hundreds of image files and Pic2Icon crashes. I tried to establish a threshold but the tests were inconsistent.
