Using the freely available IconFamily wrapper class
(
http://homepage.mac.com/troy_stephens/software/objects/IconFamily/content.h
tml) I've set my app up to composite images and then write out a .icns file
at a given path (all of which works correctly, thanks in part to the help of
this list, thanks everybody)
Because I'm wanting to set it as a volume's icon the path is always
path/.VolumeIcon.icns (as is visible when showing hidden & system files) The
icon writes perfectly and if opened in Preview, shows up correctly. However,
restarting the Finder will not actually read the icon as the volume's icon.
If the icon file is opened in an icon editor (say Icongrapher) and then
copied as an icon family and pasted into the icon via the Get Info window,
then it will work.
If a custom icon already exists and the app writes over/into the file, it
will work as well, but not if the app generates the file from scratch as it
were.
How can I resolve this? (it may be an obvious solution, but I'm missing it)
Thanks for your assistance.
