Iconizer

What is Iconizer? Plug-in for Embird Plus 7.20 and above  Iconizer displays embroidery files instead of common Windows icons. It helps you to organize your designs. It displays also some image files. Iconizer is a plug-in program for Embird, that means it is additional to the basic Embird program. It allows you to see your embroidery designs as little pictures when you are browsing through Windows Explorer.  This means you can browse and sort your designs easily, because you can see the picture of each design.  The Iconizer program is included in main the Embird program. No separate download is needed. However, it must be purchased and registered separately to activate it.   You can enable/disable different modules of Iconizer now. For example, you can enable images in "popup menu" and in Properties", but disable the "Large icons". Iconizer now supports also IMAGE formats: BMP, JPG, PCX, PNG, PSD, TGA, TIF. Iconizer works together with Microsoft® Windows® Explorer, the application which is present in every installation of Windows 95 and above and with other Windows programs. The principle of Iconizer plug-in is simple: normally, when you run Explorer and you are not using the Iconizer plug-in, each design file is represented by an universal "type" icon. Registered Iconizer plug-in will show a small icon of the embroidery design instead. This allows you to browse and sort your designs easily, because you can see the contents of embroidery files (Fig. 1) while using all the great features of Microsoft® Windows® Explorer and other Windows programs. Please Note: Iconizer plug-in supports only those embroidery formats that are supported in Embird software. Fig. 1  Embroidery files displayed as icons in Microsoft® Windows® Explorer Use the "Large Icons" view to obtain the best results, otherwise the icons may be too small. In Explorer, click on "View -> Large Icons" command. (Fig. 1). Please note that you can have also larger icons: Specify the icon size in "Iconizer Settings" dialog box in Embird Options menu. The default size is 32. Iconizer is available in demo version that displays only part of embroidery designs on icons. The rest of files is displayed as "type" icons until you purchase and register your copy of Iconizer.  Use the "eXplorer" menu in Embird to enter the registration number into the Iconizer. Registration number will turn your demo version of Iconizer into full version.
