IconLocker is a simple little application that you can use to lock your icon packs. The protection scheme is not industrial strength, but it will prevent casual abuse.

When the pack is locked, IconPacker will not open the file. The protection keeps other registered users from modifying your pack and redistributing it as their own work.

To use IconLocker, you drop an icon pack on the application's icon. You will then see a window with the current status of the lock. If someone else owns the lock for the file, it tells you so. If it's your own pack, you can modify the state of the lock checkbox and save the changes.

The number of icons in the pack is also displayed in the window; we use this so we can tell people how many icons they will be downloading from the Web page. The icon displayed in the window is the first one in the pack; it's there because we can't display a window without an icon :-)

If you are locking the pack, you'll see a gold lock on the pack when you return to the Finder. This tells you (and other users) that the pack can't be edited. If you want to make changes to the pack at a later date, you must first unlock the pack. If you're on Mac OS 8.5 or later, you'll also see a 32-bit icon for the locked or unlocked pack.
