trouble with icons

Getting Icon from file:

ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(filename);

buffered copying of file:

private void copyFile(File src, File dst) throws IOException {

InputStream in = new FileInputStream(src);

OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(dst);

byte[] buf = new byte[1024];

int len;

while ((len = in.read(buf)) > 0){

out.write(buf, 0, len);

}

in.close();

out.close();

}

reading/writing of images from/to file is done by ImageIO class

Something along these lines

Icon i = fileSystemView.getSystemIcon(f);

BufferedImage bi = new BufferedImage(i.getIconWidth(), i.getIconHeight(), BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);

Graphics g = bi.getGraphics();

i.paintIcon(null, g, 0, 0);

g.dispose();

Then use ImageIO to convert the image to your chosen format.
