The other day, a member of this list posted a request for a method to
programmatically set the icon for a file or folder. I've deleted the
original e-mail, or I'd give appropriate attribution.
I downloaded some command line tools called osxutils version 1.4 that
include these two tools:
seticon
- Set the icon of Mac OS X files/folders
geticon
- Get the icon of Mac OS X files/folders
I imagine that an Applescript do shell script with these utilities
would provide the requested functionality. OSXUtils is available at
versiontracker and macupdate. The sourceforge home page is
http://osxutils.sourceforge.net
HTH,
