Creates Retina Mac Icon
//terminal script:(takes 3 sec to setup) http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12306223/how-to-manually-create-icns-files-using-iconutil
//or drag and drop solution (sketchy website, download is a hex file, no link to devs): https://iconverticons.com/online/
Here's a script to convert a 1024x1024 png (named "Icon1024.png") to the required icns file. Save it to a filed called "CreateICNS.src" in the folder where your png file is then in terminal "cd" to the same folder and type "source CreateICNS.src" to call it:
mkdir MyIcon.iconset
sips -z 16 16 Icon1024.png --out MyIcon.iconset/icon_16x16.png
sips -z 32 32 Icon1024.png --out MyIcon.iconset/icon_16x16@2x.png
sips -z 32 32 Icon1024.png --out MyIcon.iconset/icon_32x32.png
sips -z 64 64 Icon1024.png --out MyIcon.iconset/icon_32x32@2x.png
sips -z 128 128 Icon1024.png --out MyIcon.iconset/icon_128x128.png
sips -z 256 256 Icon1024.png --out MyIcon.iconset/icon_128x128@2x.png
sips -z 256 256 Icon1024.png --out MyIcon.iconset/icon_256x256.png
sips -z 512 512 Icon1024.png --out MyIcon.iconset/icon_256x256@2x.png
sips -z 512 512 Icon1024.png --out MyIcon.iconset/icon_512x512.png
cp Icon1024.png MyIcon.iconset/icon_512x512@2x.png
iconutil -c icns MyIcon.iconset
rm -R MyIcon.iconset
//maybe turn the above into an applscript drag and drop app?
