One can only wonder why Xcode doesn't do this conversion for you when you drag a .jpg into the icon well in the Info/Properties panel for the target.

Possibly because a) the vast majority of people start with an .icns, b) the Cocoa image class used by the well automatically handles a large number of image types that aren't necessarily appropriate, and c) nobody's ever noticed this automatic but inappropriate behavior and filed a bug at http://bugreporter.apple.com on it.

Sorry, Chris, I should have added a smiley at the end of my post ;-) Im not grousing just wondering aloud.

But I am curious. I know a .icns file contains multiple resolutions etc but outside of Xcode I wasn't aware of any use for it. Everyone I know has to convert an existing .jpg, .png, etc to .icns which appears odd to a noob like me.
