Editing .ico files

An MS Windows desktop icon is in the .ico format. It means "Icon" format. A .ico format is well known too, as it is almost every icon's format.

How can I edit a .ico file in the Gimp? My version (2.06 on FreeBSD) does not recognise them at present.

You could create a BMP file and then use a BMP to ICO converter.

Here is a webpage that does the conversion for you: http://www.html-kit.com/e/favicon.cgi Just rename "favicon" to whatever filename you want.

I think the BMP needs to be a certain mode (e.g. 24bit?) before it can convert to ICO.
