With OS3.9 you can use snapshot from the menu if the application supports it. With OS 3.1 the application has to provide another means to save the icon position, for example some tooltypes or an already snapshotted project icon which it uses for its appicon.

If the applications does not offer a way to specifiy the icon's position, then you cannot snapshot it.

@Thomas:

Thanks again!

(It seems that quite few - didn't yet find any - applications support that. I was mainly intrested in JabberWocky, AmigaAMP and IBrowse.)

Sometimes, you can snapshot an Appicon by snapshotting the Workbench window. It doesn't work for every icon, but some seem to work.
