A way to resize icons in Dream Maker

under Graphic have a menu option to resize all icon states in an icon file
It would make things easier if we could change the canvas size on Dream Maker Icon files. People notice large icons on icon/chat games and always ask how to make large icons.

So I have to tell them the steps to do so. Because not everyone has an environment, or knows how to make one, or even wants to make one, they have to do these steps, they are simple steps but still.

So instead of having to open the file, delete all the states, change the dimensions, and then import or copy/paste whatever they want into the file, or creating a new icon file from an environment, they can change the canvas while there is already a state inside the file. Just in case someone had a 32x32 state but needed a 64x64 state in it as well, they wouldn't have to do all those steps.

Just a suggestion for others, not entirely myself. I have no qualms about using those steps, or even making stuff outside of DMI (which I do anyways because DMI lags when I try to shade). Just speaking out for those that don't want to do all these steps for whatever reason.

The easiest way is to open the .dmi in a photoeditor (it is just a PNG internally) and resize from there. Then you'll have to edit the PNG comments to reflect the new size (the comments should be self-explanatory). Someone could probably write an outside tool for this.

Would be nice to have access to Icon.Scale() inside of Dream Maker though.
I'd like to request a DMI Resizing function(given the resized image does not go over the 256 x 256 image limit)

An option to either export the icon as a dmi with resized values or edit the individual icon within DM
sick of resizing icons and them being blurred..
