A file's icon in daemon?

[Karl Moskowski]

From reading Apple's technote tn2083, I know AppKit is not a daemon- safe framework. However, I found an old post to the list that said it's long been possible to use NSImage "headlessly" by linking against AppKit anyway, calling [NSApplication sharedApplication] somewhere, then doing the NSImage stuff.

Thanks.

Is it also possible to use the NSWorkspace method iconForFile: in this context as well? I can then iterate over the icon's representations, finding the appropriately sized one and converting it to the appropriate file type. If not, is there a daemon-safe way to do this on Leopard?
