Godot: Make changing game file icon easier

Created on 6 Mar 2019  路  9Comments  路  Source: godotengine/godot

Godot version:

Godot 3.1 beta 10

OS/device including version:

Windows

Issue description:

Currently we have to download rcedit to change the file icon. This just seems..well, uncomfortable. I mean every other engine allows to change file icon internally. The only other place I have seen rcedit being used is game frameworks, and well, Godot is not that low level.
Please developers, isn't there a workaround for it? A common user speaking.

Steps to reproduce:

Windows only issue I believe

Related, if not duplicate, to #21347

Duplicate of #21347 indeed.

Its not a duplicate. I am asking if the icon can be directly changed in godot, without the (direct) use of rcedit by the user.
Using an external application for a task this common just doesn't sound very pleasing to me.

Well this issue is a duplicate of #21347, or #21347 is a duplicate of this issue. Both relate to simplifying the workflow to edit PE data for Windows binaries, without having to rely on rcedit.

Okay, you are the boss. Will anyone be working on it?

I think that's a no.

For now, nobody volunteered to do so, and it's not a priority.
But if you want to give it a try feel free to make a PR.

No promises though :)
