Re: Problem getting app icon to display in Finder



I found that changing the name of the app and confirming the change, and then changing it back works for me.

Actually, sending the Finder a kAESync Apple event is sufficient if you can find something that will do this for you.

You can use Rainer's "Nudge Contextual Menu" to force the Finder to update: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/22311. (NOTE: this isn't yet a Universal Binary; bug him to release an updated version). I use it all the time and it works great for issues like that.

File Buddy's CM is a Universal Binary, and it has a Touch command, though I
wouldn't use it for this as it changes the modified date and that's not
needed to address this issue. Also, someone pointed out that doing a Get
Info in the Finder, selecting the icon and pressing the delete key causes
the Finder to update the icon. As long as the application doesn't have a
custom icon, that shouldn't change anything.


You could also probably 'touch' the application bundle, which would
most likely cause LS to re-read in the application and possibly have
the Finder update the icon.

File Buddy's contextual menu also has an Update Application Database
command. It calls LSRegister and tells the Finder to update, though you
don't need LSRegister for the problem the OP was seeing.
