Actually, there's a better solution that we've never really discussed
on the list.
Notice the directory structure of the Generic Images:
/Library/Audio/MIDI Devices/Generic/Images
Also notice that in AMS' MIDI Property window, there's an item in the
"Icon Set:" popup that says "Generic"
Here's what happens:
[1] AMS scans all directories in /Library/Audio/MIDI Devices/.
[2] AMS then scans the *subdirectories* of the folders found in step 1
for a folder named "Images".
[3] If AMS finds an "Images" folder, it creates an Icon Set for that
particular item, and shows all images in its "Images" subdirectory in
that icon set.
So, for example, a better solution for Pete might be to create and
install icons in
/Library/Audio/MIDI Devices/M-Audio/Images.
Then, the next time AMS is run, an item named "M-Audio" will appear in
the "Icon Set:" popup, and all image files in /Library/Audio/MIDI
Devices/M-Audio/Images will appear there.
I'd strongly advise this solution over installing additional icons in
the '.../Generic/Images' directory
Best,
Luke

Can I install image files into this directory?

Is there some other way to make the images available to the user?
Boy; I am just a fount of queries lately.
For what it's worth, as a user, I've installed my own icons in that
folder.
I think that other music software users knowing about the technique
have
done so as well.
