feature request: osd popup: bitmap = executable (use icon)

[Mark F]

I'll put this on the to-do list but I have no idea how to do this. Hence, I have no idea when it might get done.

Cool! The first two will do the trick. :)

I still don't know when I'll get this done but now I know how it can be done.

This is just a feature request for the OSD Popup plugin.

I would like to select a bitmap from an executable as the display bitmap.
Would this be hard to add?

*.exe files could be selected, then you'd need a popup box to select which icon in the executable (if more than one existed).

Thank you.

I hope these links help. I'm not a programmer but they looked pretty useful :)
