Luckily enough, some things in life are just simple :P

Perhaps I should start creating some basic FAQ in here.
It is perhaps worth an article, e.g. how to work with icons, including how to work with default (system) icons.
It has/is always been my idea to put up some basic workings and/or workarounds related articles with regards to AROS but I never seem able to find enough time to actually do it :(

When I start the program by clicking on the icon, the (game) program starts but then suddenly crashes at random times.
As already perfectly hinted by cavemann, that is due the stack size.
When you create an icon by renaming a png, then all info related information is not (yet) available. You can use the workbench icon selector and editor the icon properties such as stacksize (or in case of a tool-type icon add tooltypes to the icon).

Using the processicon from the link you provided, also works and I have no crash. The only downside is the icon is the default icon and not the appropriate from the .png
Hmz, I though it was possible to overrule the used image with an option, but I haven't used the tool in a long time, so can't tell from memory.
Yeah, the default icon has a default stacksize that is copied along. I have no idea what the default stacksize is these days. It is a common issue thiough, as sometimes things improves with regards to AROS' internals but for those to work properly more stack is used/required ;)

Is there any graphic program that can save images as .info files? Lunapaint perhaps?
I believe the image-viewer from our friend .... darn, I forgot his name (was it stanislav ?), is able to do such a thing. Didn't user miker@aros-exec created an icon editor for AROS ? That should be able to set the tooltypes etc. of an icon as well.
@cavemann
:
processicon just copies the settings from the default icon by default. In case you wish to overrule that, then you can use option SSS to set the stacksize to another value. It is just as easy to do it manually using the workbench. processicon is however a perfect tool when you wish to do things either automatically or when you want to process a bunch of icons.
Oh, I wrongfully mentioned Olivier as the author, but that actually is Dirk Stoecker. Olivier is our friend that actually ported it to AROS.
