Telegraphics - Free ICO Format Plugin for Photoshop

After a little stumbling around looking for a way to create my favicon.ico (favicon.com has withdrawn the nice service they had there for a while), I came across Telegraphics and this file format plugin. It was reportedly tested for Photoshop 4, but I just dropped it into my Plug-Ins\File Formats folder for Photoshop 7 and it worked just great - just Save As: .ico

When I get back in the office I'll take a closer look at what it actually output in IconFactory, but so far so good in Firefox and windows IE 6.

The same page lists a seperate plugin called ICOBundle
which "Combines multiple ICO images (e.g. created by the above plugin) into a single ICO file." .. for your 16x16, 32x32, 64x64 versions.. which is mostly what I was wondering about.

Thanks for the citation (I wrote icoformat). It works in all versions of Photoshop, 3.0 through CS, on Windows and Mac.
