ZANGIEF  Amazing. It barely uses any CPU, definitely a big bonus. Unlike CocoThumb, there isn't one of those little reflections under everything, either. This is THE best in its class by far. Users who have folders filled with PNG or non-thumbnailed icons (like me, which is why I got Pinki) will definitely appreciate this little app.

ERRORR  I found out how to turn off cocothumb's reflection by clicking on the (+) button... (not very clear UI!) I find Pinki not very intuitive, it launches as a menubar item without a window (perhaps that's a feature). I am going to stick with Cocothumb for the time being.

YOXI  The one thing that's missing for me to make this app really useful: if therer's a non-image in my selection (e.g. a text file or a subfolder) then the app won't process any of the image files. It would be much more useful if the message said "There are non-images in your selection" and then would go ahead and process the image files if you want it to.

HENRIKTEKNIK  - I'm experiencing sudden crashes now and then. As in, silent crashes without notification. I can't replicate when, exactly it happens, but I'll report about it if I find out.

- I haven't figured out how the 'Save as .ICNSÂ…' works. I select an image in Finder, then choose to save it as .icns in Pinki, but I don't get to save it as a separate .icns file. Reading the description of the program, I was under the impression that there should be a way to generate separate .icns files out of images. Would be happy if someone could give me some advice (am I missing anything?).

Other than that, this looks great! I like the app, but it's a little rough around the edges perhaps.

SOLIDSNAKE  The app is reminding everytime update 1.1.1 is available for download even it's 1.1.1 running and check for update disabled.

Except that tiny problem, it's a good utility to work with images.

JETFIREDX  Very cool indeed. Makes it so that the small icons shown while using Xfolders actually represent the image. Thanks for creating this!

A couple things I would love to see (either added to this or from Apple, since it seems like it should be an option somewhere...)

1. Search inside of selected folders and convert all images. This would make batch processing a huge amount of images easier.

2. Would it be possible to hook into the finder somehow and anytime it creates a temporary icon, just save that to the file as its icon? First time you open a folder it would be slow, but then it would only have to do it for new images that don't have their own icon after that.

Thanks for making this!

DANIEL J. WILSON  Being able to specify the color of an optional 1 pixel thumbnail border would be nice.

ANONYMOUS  Never thought I'd have as much use for this app as it turns out I do! Great for making photo archives easy to browse from the Finder, as well as cleaning up low-res icons made by OS 9.

ANONYMOUS  This would be a lot better if it left you with control of the finder. As it stands if you are changing say 100 icons you are basically locked out until the app has finished.

Other than that its quite good.

ALEXF  An app I didn't know I needed. It's especially good for images originally from OS 9 that are stuck with a 32x32 icon that looks terrible in X's Finder.

Just select your files, use the pig and you'll have beautiful, modern thumbnails.

It's 0.8, so I can't be too harsh. Things I'd like to see are a bit more explanation of the options, and as one reviewer said, a contextual menu option.

Good work overall!

ANONYMOUS  It would be nice to have this as a contextual menu instead of adding to an already-cluttered menu bar. Cute pig.

ANONYMOUS  Great app for image collectors.

And it's free! I have paid to get application that generates thumbnails ex. : Thumbnail Pro and it's not worth to compare. Pinki is, by far, superior.

ANONYMOUS  Great little piece of software! As a web designer I work with a lot of different graphics all day, most of which have very odd labels that usually don't make much sense, so being able to batch create icons like this with Pinki is a huge time-saver.

As the poster below me said, the option of shadows would be nice just as an enhanced visual thing.

All the same, it's good to see another quality time-saver app out of Morgan. I look forward to seeing what's coming up at the 1.0 milestone =)

THOMAS  Its a good idea, but might it not be better to make this a context menu thing rather than a menu item. Just a suggestion.

ANONYMOUS  can't write those in cocoa. it's unrealistic to expect someone to learn carbon just so they can make a context menu

ANONYMOUS  It was a good suggestion, though, thanks. I personally like the menu item better anyways, so I think it's going to stay. The next release (soon!) will use a .menu system plugin instead of an NSStatusItem, however.
