I want to note the point in time when that event occurs. For that i
want to use this icon image change as trigger. Is there anyway I can
way i can compare icons of two files.
I did lot of research on web but could not find the expected
solution. I could see find how to get/set icon of a file but could
not find the way to compare the icons or any of their properties by
which they can be distinguished.
The only way I can think to do this would be to use some a third party
tool which reported icon info. But I don't know of any offhand. Here: <http://www.vcn.bc.ca/~philip/#IcnsRsrc2File

could then do a comparison of the file size and/or raw bytes (ugh) --
that will only tell you if they are different. There isn't usually any
data other than the raw bytes and container bounds stored in icons
(see IconStorage.h and Icons.r for the format).
