"Great in its Class"
Version: Folder Icon X 1.7.1
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I have Icon Builder Pro for serious work with Photoshop on original icons. I also use Iconographer from time to time. For quick and simple work I especially like this app in comparison with the others in its class. It's very well supported by the author in terms of providing assistance as well as frequent upgrades. Can Combine Icons is also a decent app and I doubt I've missed any icon applications, but I know this is one that does a lot of quick and dirty work for me. Thanks for the great support! -

Macintosh users have grown very dependent on icons. So, now I use this all the time to make folders more easily identifiable to me when scanning a long list. -
"Quality issues"
Version: Folder Icon X 1.6.2
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Scaling is poor. I would understand crude scaling in the design area, but even after the icon is done, the scaling looks "jaggy" not smooth. Everything looks bad except at the default sizes. That's pretty constraining.
Also, wouldn't it be great if he app allowed you to move the icons around wherever you wanted, instead having a constrained canvas? Lots of icons don't use the full 128x128 pixels, yet FolderIconX assumes they do, and centralizes them. What if I want to move the icon a bit to the side? It's impossible...Yes, there is the triming function which addresses part of the issue. But it's still limiting. Also, what if I only want to use half of an icon as a "Logo"? It doesn't let you move the icon beyond the visible canvas.
Back in the day, there was an icon conextual menu called "Icon Tools" it was amazingly cool. Its developers killed it though. But it remains as one of the best icon tools ever. I think Folder Icon X could learn from it.
Overrall, it does the job, but it's lacking in quality and it's restrained in icon manipulation. Two stars, lots of improvements to go. -

For total icon control and modification, Folder Icon X is the superior application in the field.
