A problem I noticed almost immediately after I released the Beta.  I decided to wait until after I got a few more features implimented before sending out the immediate fix.

The error occurs for 2 reasons.

1.  The "New Project" menu item must be choosen and a new project must be started.

2.  The "Pencil" tool must be clicked first to load the tool into a global variable.

I've used Axialis Icon Workshop, and it is a wonderful program.  It just kinda drives me crazy that, since Revolution is a development application, that an Icon editor would not have been already created.

What I envision is this, an all-around editor.  Icon's of any size being edited just like in the old HyperCard days.  And my own person want, the ability to design/import your standalone icons directly inside the Standalone Options dialog box.

I've spend my free time working on projects.  JPEGCompress is one such example.  I've spent the last 6 years working on it.  When I get something I want, I'll work on it for a LONG time. :)
