Because composition/decomposition is good (among others for re-use), because with separate entries you can browse them more easily, because we don't like long methods, ... You get the idea ;-)

once more I really dont like idea of methods returning single values. This also one of the reasons why Spec annoys me. Why not have Collection / Dictionary that stores all these strings ? Having 100 methods for 100 icons seems really ugly . Instead one collection with 100 entries and a single method would be more than enough.
I know its not just you that do this and is how icons work in Pharo .Its basically how many things work like this inside Pharo. But I still dont get it.... why ?

The program makes assumptions about the file name and since it is naming the method like the file it fails, because you can't have "-" in method name. I could change it so it removes all non-alphanumeric characters from the name.

"Norse_largeThe '-' prefix works only for literal numbers (use #negated instead) -> -cpcIconContents "Private - Method generated with the content of the file File @ /Users/kilon/Downloads/Norse_large-cpc.png""
looks like it does not like that i use "-" inside the file name. In the folder the name of the file is not Norse_large-cpc.png but Norse-large-cpc.png
"-" has some special meaning here ?

anyway, the method is created , but it does not proceed to next png. Shouldn create a method for each png it finds in the directory ? yes it should, it operates on a collection, so if dir allFiles select: [ :each | each extension = 'png' ] shows more then one file it should also create a method for each one, not just the first
