Title: custom icon for application
bundle
I have a script saved as an application bundle that I want to
give a custom icon. I replaced 'applet.icns' with my custom icon in
Resources in the package contents, and changed the CFBundleIconFile in
the plist file to the name of the custom icon file (without the icns
extension). When I relaunched the Finder I got the generic application
icon instead. When I renamed the custom icns file to 'applet.icns', I
did get my custom icon. If I copy and paste my custom icon into the
Get Info window for the application bundle, it is saved in the
resource fork of the package and does show in the Finder.
Can anyone explain why my custom icon doesn't show up in the
Finder unless I rename it to 'applet.icns' despite having changed the
plist? I know I can just use the resource fork way of doing things,
but I would prefer to avoid this and use the bundle concept.
Thanks,
Don
