Axialis Icon WorkShop is French!

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!!!

Secretly?

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.

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.

Ooops sorry i missed that thread, totally agree with you Gadget.

And must say that was a very bad way to put it, he was merely objected against for a not so good excuse

He had 8 responses before mine and none of them even attempted to answer his question. I don't think "too bad for you" is someone trying to be helpful.

I totally agree. *HARSH* words considering what the topic is in this thread.
Totally uncalled for!!

yes Baker but he also slammed it for being French, it would be the same no matter who made it, would he continue to be happy with it not knowing it was French? Of course he would. and not every thread gets an answer in the first posting, i couldn't answer but didn't just completely ignore it

So the next time,try to be the 1st response okay and then he will have the perfect and correct answer!!

define "slammed". He said: "so I decided NO WAY I'm gonna suport the French!"

I don't either. He could have just found a warez copy, but he was decent enough to look for an alternative.

Gadget Girl: Nah, not worth my time. Given time I'm sure someone will come along and make up for your inability to do so.
