Hi All,
Is there a way to dynamically set a files icon, the way photoshop
did or does? I am working on a puzzle game that creates puzzles, and
I want to create a small image of the created puzzle and pop it into
the files icon. I am dreaming here, but I am estimating that it would
require quit a bit of code. Anyone?
Wow, just answered this in the last couple of days (Sunday in fact)
Hello,
Does anyone know how to create custom file icons from a Cocoa app?
Yep...
For the moment you can rely on the third party framework by Troy
Stephens...
http://homepage.mac.com/troy_stephens/software/objects/IconFamily/
content.html
This package includes the source for a simple Cocoa testbed app called
"MakeThumbnail" that demonstrates the use of the IconFamily class.
MakeThumbnail lets you open any NSImage-supported image file and
re-save it as a JPEG with an icon family consisting of various-sized
thumbnail versions of the image assigned as the file's custom icon. It
also enables you to save the same icon family to an .icns file.
