Determine whether a file has a custom icon

Subject: Determine whether a file has a custom icon

Hi there,

Can anyone help me determine whether a file or folder has a custom icon? For example, I'd like to know whether the Finder would display the default folder icon for a given folder, or some other icon.

I know I can use +iconForFile in NSWorkspace to get an NSImage of the icon in question, but I don't know how to tell whether this is a default icon or a custom one.

A previous proposed solution on this list was to use kHasCustomIcon in the Finder flags. This is rarely set and doesn't do the trick.

Thanks,
Adrian
