Can we create icns files or just open them?

Nice to be able to open icons but can't really do anything with them other than save 1 resolution as a graphic.

Where's the value in that or am I missing something?

Hi there, I'd day the main value is that you don't have to use another app to convert ICNS to PNG (or another compatible format) before opening the files. To create a proper ICNS set, you're probably best off using Xcode and for rough edits/changes, you can also do quite a lot in Preview, even if it isn't super convenient. There are some more instructions here:

Hope that helps!

I hope full icns file support is in the future.
By the way, I can drag individual icon resolutions out of the .icns file with preview.

Thank you for the response

That's unlikely, to be honest, the features for the next major update (the next two, in fact) are already set...

Without ICNS support, the work in macOS is tiring...
i think it, its a must have feature in apple platform.
