For volumes I now see that it appears to be stored in
".VolumeIcon.icns" at the top level of the drive. So what I did was set
the icon to what I want it to be, then I copied that file from the disk
to a folder, and then in the script I copy (do shell script "cp ...")
that icon file on to the volume. Lastly I do:
tell app "Finder" to update disk "Disk Name"
That updates the display of the disk in the Finder so the new icon
shows. Works like a charm!
FYI, this is for a backup (cloning) script (I'm scripting the program
SuperDuper!). A problem with cloning is that it clones the icon of the
original disk too, which means all my drives end up looking the same.
By using the above technique I can now set the icon for the backup
drive to a different one that I want. Thanks for the help!
Steve
