{{DEFAULTSORT:Icon Librarian, The|noerror}}'''The Icon Librarian''', by Keith Ledbetter, is a Windows 3.x program for making collections of [[ICO|icon]] graphics.

== Format details ==
The program lets the user create multiple "libraries" of icon graphics. It maintains a single global ICONLIB.ILG file, and multiple .TIL files. A TIL file contains the graphics for one library. All other data, such as the names of the libraries, is stored in the central ILG file.

A TIL file is apparently just a sequence of structures, 744 bytes each. The structures resemble [[BMP#Packed DIB file|DIBs]], but are not actually in that format. A DIB would be 1128 bytes in size, not 744.

== Identification ==
ILG: Unknown. Identification might be possible, but the format doesn't seem to have any distinctive markings.

TIL: It seems possible to distinguish TIL from [[BMP#Packed DIB file|DIB]]. The file size is a multiple of 744, and the same 40 bytes, beginning with (hex) {{magic|28 00 00 00 20 00 00 00 40}}, appear every 744 bytes.
