Windows ico files with multiple images are downsampled or not displayed

See original GitHub issue

--windows-icon-from-ico works, but seems to downsample the source image to an unsightly degree.

The following screenshot shows the problem, with the icon on the right generated by PyInstaller from the exact same source image:

The original image can be found here. Thanks!

python -m nuitka --version

Ok, pushed it to factory https://nuitka.net/doc/factory.html as it works for me now, selecting any icon or all icons from your icon file just works. Didn’t yet document the new option for selecting single icons, that’s future work.

Thanks for the example. Nuitka surely doesn’t downsample, but Windows does. And Nuitka attempts to include all the icons, but maybe it fails in some way. I will use your example to find out what’s going on there.
