Icon 'caching' utility for the Amiga?

[mingle]

Hi,

Does anyone know of a program that will 'cache' the icons in a directory, so when I open it in Workbench the icons are there pretty much instantaneously, without having to parse and display each icon one by one?

Cheers,

Mike.

DOpus Magellan, but for plain WB I don't remember now...

IconBeFast (Aminet) or Icon.library 46.4.163 (Aminet), which are from the same author, use a color distance table of only 1 KB to avoid many time consuming calculations or compares and branches.
For further optimization it has a cache for colormap decoding. The loading of 256 color GlowIcons can be 6+ times faster now. You need at least a Workbench with 32 colors to get a profit.

And WB3.5+ (?)

And WB3.5+ (?)

Not really, Glowicons, and IconBeFast can also work with 3.1 and probably with 3.0 too.
I believe not everyone knows that.

I happened to read iconbefast docs and this popped into me: IBF 2.0+ needs the OS 3.5+ icon.library  - so it's just the library. (Was going to recommend iconbefast but you were faster )
