How would a hidden .icns file work for a directory containing lots of
files
with preview icons?
Are you confusing file previews with custom icons? I thought they were
very different.
Photoshop is another app that creates custom icons -- no idea if they
are in the resource fork or not, but probably.
The Finder displays previews by actually reading the file and
generating the "icon" or text preview live. I thought this was what the
OP meant, but then I was also distracted by this other pre-generated
custom icon discussion. Anyway my hard drive has a custom icon which
appears as
-rw-r--r-- 1 brentgul admin 62485 Sep 4 23:02 .VolumeIcon.icns
I can't find the ones I have on my folders, but they don't seem to
affect the reported size of the folder either way.
And I didn't think any Apple software used the resource fork any more.
What's in the Desktop DF -- window positions? Could that also hold
custom icons?
