You can also install it with Homebrew by running brew install asset-catalog-tinkerer!
Unsupported Asset Types
Asset Catalog Tinkerer was designed with images in mind, so it doesn’t support some of the more modern asset catalog features, such as colors. It may or may not be updated in the future to support those.
QuickLook PlugIn
The app also includes a QuickLook PlugIn so you can see previews of asset catalogs in QuickLook.
How to use
The app can open any .car file, usually located within an app’s Resources directory.
Once you have an asset catalog opened, you can drag individual assets out or export the entire catalog / selected images to a directory.
Supported file types
Since version 2.2, Asset Catalog Tinkerer can now read theme store files, not only catalog files.
Theme store files contain assets for UI components, you can find examples of them in /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemAppearance.bundle. The app also supports ProKit’s theme stores found inside ProKit.framework, LunaKit.framework and other folders within pro apps.
