Retina icon in v1.5 plist

I saw a placeholder for the retina 114 pixel icon in the buzztouch plist but wasn't sure of the best way to add the icon to the x code project. I used the [email protected] file name and dragged it into the project and onto the retina icon placeholder in xcode but then it occurred to me that maybe I should have done it different for buzztouch. Are you planning a retina icon upload option?

Bob, A lot of folks are resizing their icon (57 for iPhone 3s, 72 for iPad and 114 for the iPhone 4s) and using the Icon_57.png, Icon_72.png, and Icon_114.png files and just replacing them. I think if your way works best for you, that is how you should do it. David will have to chime in regarding the higher rez files and the future option to upload those.

Not sure how were going to handle the higher-res file uploads. It's easy to allow it but doesn't always give the best results. The icon upload is really only meant for the control panel image / icon and not the app. Yes, we convert this to .png for the project download but really these project images should be changed / updated locally after downloading. Probably going to change the icon upload to allow a .PNG - one - 114 x 114. Then, we can make this smaller for the other sizes 57, 72 without losing quality. Quality goes away when the icon is made larger, but doesn't when it's made smaller. Not a big deal today but for sure something to do longer term.
