I seem to have lost a post, made an announcment for my NDS icon program romer but its vanished.

It may have been deleted because it sounded like a tool for swashbucklers more than homebrew users.

Your icon tool was a GUI tool. Ordinarily, homebrew developers will use tools compatible with GNU Make to build their apps. GNU Make can be told to run a given command-line tool with a given set of options whenever a file in the project changes, but it cannot operate tools that work only in GUI mode.

That doesn't seem like a reason to delete the post. It could be used to add icons to someone else's homebrew so you can tell them apart in programs like DSOrganize by quickly glancing at the icon. However, some of the options didn't seem to have any use to homebrew.
I didn't delete the thread (I can't) but I imagine that's why.

cheers man!
I could add command line options. Would that allow it to be integrated into the current NDS dev tools?
I haven't tried making any homebrew yet so not aware of the tools available or how to integrate RomeR in with them.

That would be fantastic.

It would allow it to be integrated into makefiles.
Imagine you have 1000 files. You have to muck with all of these files. If you spend one minute on each file, it will take 16 hours and 40 minutes to finish dealing with all of them. Image you have to deal with some or all of them everyday. Imagine that everyday lasts for multiple months.
You need to be able automate this or you'd never be able to do anything else. This is one of the reasons command line options and makefiles are important.

It was not really intended for swashbucklers the icon adding features took quite some time to impliment and was the inital reason for the program. I just found it irritating that homebrew games often did not have a proper embeded icon or title and then realised the reason was due to a lack of software to do the job.
Any suggestions for commands that would be useful?
Was thinking just a command to feed an image path, nds file path and then the header patching options.

By adding command line options, people can add the icon/title to the build process and never have to think about it again.

Sounds good to me.

It was I who deleted the thread - Application with piracy features hosted on piracy site. I've also removed the link to said site in this thread.

The reason isn't a lack of software to do it, ndstool has options for this. It probably has more to do with the lack of icons and descriptions in the examples than anything else.
If you wish to have your tool linked in these forums I suggest you host it somewhere else and remove the swashbuckling features. There are many free web hosts around and http://www.dev-scene.com/ allows for downloads without forcing the user to sign up.

You can host a free website with google, and you can share 1GB of files, archives and folders from bt digital vault.

Do you mean as a compile-time option?

which features of RomeR would be deemed swashbuckling?
Trimming?
I could just make a command line version which will add icon & title given the correct input files.
