Is 32-bit ICO supported?

Does the ICO writer use the Alpha channel when writing?

Code: Select all

convert source.bmp -depth 32 -resize 32x32 ICO:test.ico
Results in a 24-bit ICO (I also tried ICON:)

I've used a program called IconFX to create icons with transparency and it works.

If you look at this screenshot, the image on the left was a result of using ImageMagik. The image on the right was from importing using IconFX.

My ultimate goal is to have multiple image sizes in one file (using +page).

If it's not supported, is this support scheduled for a future release?

Thanks!

We have a patch in ImageMagick 6.3.8-6 Beta to support 32-bit ICON images. Thanks for the problem report.
