==========================
KNOWN LIMITATIONS
-----------------
No. NO. NOOO!!!!! PowerIcons DOESN'T WORK WITH MAGELLAN !!!!!!!!!! These desktops do every icon operation by hand without using the icon.library API so there's definitely NO WAY! Don't ask it anymore!

yes, that's true, Directory Opus Magellan II does not support PNG icons, not even with PowerIcons patch. Guru Meditation, the current holder of the license, is busy with OS4 version of Opus, therefore I doubt they release some patch for old 68k proggie.

However, there's a possibility (http://www.amikit.amiga.sk/limitations.htm) of viewing PNG icons under Magellan, but forget about PNG desktop usage definitely... :-(
