Axialis Icon WorkShop is French!

Published on April 2, 2003 By hashonboat In WinCustomize Talk

I downloaded icon workshop & liked it because I could easily batch convert mac icons to png's or ico's, so when my trial period was up I deceided to buy it ( like I should)BUT I found out they charge only euro's because they are French, so I decided NO WAY I'm gonna suport the French! Can anyone recommend another program with the same or better capabilities ??

Maybe someone out there even knows how much 69.95 Euro's is!!! And Yes supporting the French economy by buying their products does matter. They are NOT anti-war. They have been secretly selling nuclear technology to the Iraqi's for years , putting innocent American's at risk!!!

your money ain't going towards weapons or anything. its going towards the products you use and the people who make them.

hashonboat, cutting your nose off to spite your face?

Icon Workshop is the best Icon software on the market today for cross platform conversion and production.

Stop the insanity !! hashonboat, you are talking about Icon Software!!
Please do not go down that path to justify your decision.

If hashonboat doesn't want to buy French products, I don't see any reason to gang rape him for it.

His question was "Can anyone recommend another program with the same or better capabilities ?? " not "do you think I am right?".

I'm not an Iconist, i wish i could help. For PC work i know many people use Microangelo, made by Impactsoft. http://www.impactsoft.com/default.htm

If you need to work with Mac icons and such go to Cleffie net http://www.cleffie.net/ and read his tutorials. It may be extra steps as compared to a single app, but if you feel strongly about not buying from French companies, it will probably outweigh the added annoyance.

I do not think that he was gang raped for the thread he posted.
I just disagree.
