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.
I'm not sure, but I would try "installing" your applet: zip it, trash
it, empty the trash, then unzip the zip.
