Capeify

To download Capeify itself, simply:

pip install capeify

How to use it

To convert a Windows cursor pack , run :

capeify convert --path PATH/TO/THE/CURSORPACK --inf-file INF_FILE_NAME --out OUT_FILE_PATH

How it works

The program first parses the INF file and reads the [Strings],[AddReg] etc. entries and gets the cursor names and their corresponding cur/ani files, after that those cur/ani files are parsed and their hotspot position,frame duration,frame count etc. are saved and they're converted to pngs, also the cursor names are translated into MacOS cursor identifiers.

After that a ready cape file template is filled with those data and its ready to use.
