What I want is to get the Finder to badge files with badges that I specify. Now, the reference I gave seemed to indicate that back in Mac OS 8 days you could, and I was wondering if someone else had gotten it to work since I couldn't.

It still sort of works. However the Finder overlays the badge with the icon preview in column view, and even turning that off isn't too reliable. The badge appears correctly in icon view, in the dock, and in 16x16 mode. Maybe we should file a bug...

To see a file with a badge, do a "Save Report" from my XRay application; it creates a TextEdit file with a badge.
