Could you please add an option to select an icon from an .exe file?

you can use 7zip to extract icon from any exe file, It's simple.

I want to keep ExWrapper simple and lightweight. ;)

Well, I know there're tools to extract icons from executable. But sometimes this feature can be found. For example when you select an icon for a link file (.lnk) on Windows you can take it from .ico, .icl, .exe or .dll.

I think of the use case when someone creates a portable package using Turbo Studio. Such a package can include several executables inside one final .exe file. Individual executables can be started using different command line arguments. So I can create exe-shortcuts for these individual executables using ExWrapper and it could be convenient to specify an icon from the original executable.

Of course it's possible to extract an icon with an additional tool, save it to file, choose the file in ExWrapper. But it takes more time.
If you don't think this feature is needed in ExWrapper, then it's okay just close the issue:-)
