Tim,

You need to send the Finder a sync AppleEvent.

Take a look at <http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/SetCustomIcon/SetCustomIcon.html>.

I know it a Carbon example, but it is Apple sample code so can be relied upon.

Hello
    I meet trouble in setting the custom icon in file. When I use setIcon method to set the file's icon, I find it won't really act. when I reopen in Finder, the icon still is older, not changed. the follows are the code:


 NSFileWrapper * pfw = [[NSFileWrapper alloc] initWithPath: @"~/tmp.file"];
 NSImage * pimg = [[NSImage alloc] initByReferencingFile: @"~/file.tif"];
 [pfw setIcon: pimg];
// tmp.file is the file that I want to change the icon in Finder
//the file.tif is the file that store the icon.
 
Is it mean that I didn't do something more?
 
thanks in advance for anyone who give any suggestions. Thanks.
 
all the best
Tim
