Re: Is setting a custom folder icon possible?
site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: installer-dev@lists.apple.com Hi Chris, I did some more testing and I now know what is happening: Am 18.05.2005 um 21:42 schrieb Christopher Ryan: For what it is worth. Yes this works for me too (I used PackageMaker unter Mac OS X 10.3.9). Sorry for the noise on this list and thanks for all the help.

I just used Package Maker (from 10.4) to make a package containing folders with custom icons. If I select "Preserve Resource Forks" in the "Contents" section of creating a package then the icons are preserved. If I do not, then they are not. I rechecked all the different .pkg files to see why the original one my friend built did set the custom icon flag on my system and my Iceberg built test.pkg files didn't. The difference is the presence of a ._<foldername> file for the folder with the custom icon. So I now have the following three cases: 1. A PackageMaker created package which includes the ._xxx file: Works correctly on 10.3.9 and 10.4.1; 2. An Iceberg created package without the ._xxx file: doesn't work anywhere; 3. An Iceberg created package which includes the ._xxx file: Works on 10.3.9 but not on 10.4.x. I was not able to create a package with the ._xxx file in Iceberg. No idea how my friend managed this. So basically it seems to boil down to bugs in Iceberg. I'll get in touch with Stéphane privately. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
