I’ve done that years ago.

 

From memory:

 

With UI on

a. Copy the icon to use in the Clipboard

 

b. choose a target item (I usually choosed a folder)

 

c. get file info

 

d. Tab to set the focus to the Icon

 

e. Tab to get out of the Icon area

 

f. Close the Get info image

 

btw: the Finder (process ?) have to be frontmost.

 

Unfortunately, my scrips is somewhere in my not sorted archives (better think at unavailable).

 

HTH,

 

Emile

Subject: Setting a File or Folder Icon via AppleScript
Message-ID: <email@hidden>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"

Hey Folks,

I think it is not possible to set a file or folder icon using vanilla AppleScript – true?

At the moment I want to use a .icns file to set an app's icon.

Can anyone help?

TIA.
