Thread-topic: File/Folder icons - normal and custom
Thanx Eric,
I actually saw this sample and still had 2 questions:
1) Is this the easiest way to do this? The code there seems quite long for such a simple task.
2) Can you perhaps explain a bit the concept behind these custom icons? What does finder look for in files and in folders? Perhaps, I can simplify the code to suite my needs.
Thanx
Yaron
