This is a really, really, really, really useful utility, because it doesn't just link a favicon file, it actually creates a fully-compatible ICO file, containing all the relevant sizes up to the size of the source image and then links the resulting multi-size ICO file to your page as a favicon.
For example, if you have a 550x550px transparent PNG, the system will auto create ICO images for: 16x16, 24x24, 32x32, 64x64, 128x128, 256x256 and 512x512 and add them all to a single ICO file and write it to the root of the website: favicon.ico. No more messing with online sites to convert the PNG to ICO first, and this allows your client to modify the favicon on the fly, for specials, christmas, etc.
This also allows you to have multiple favicons per root, as the filename generated can be linked to the root alias, e.g. favicon-root.ico to allow multiples in the root.

This release integrates at PAGE level, where there are favicon settings:
- Add favicon (to activate)[/*:m:1w3z6bxh]
- Favicon source file a PNG with transparency is preferred, but you can use PNG, JPG or GIF. A Square ratio is not necessary, as the image will simply be cropped to be square[/*:m:1w3z6bxh]
- An option to enable the appending of the root page's alias to the favicon file[/*:m:1w3z6bxh]
NOTE: If you want to recreate the icon you simply delete it and the system will auto-create it again.
