Hi all,
I wanted to set the Finder Icon of some stacks by script, I know I can do it
easily in the Finder, but I wanted to automate the process within LC.
After scanning the dictionary I thought this would be easy, however, the info
provided is either out of date, inaccurate or just misleading, I suspect it's
just out of date.
Some quotes from the dictionary…
icon
Type: property
Syntax:
set the icon to {imageID | imageName}
Platforms: Desktop, Server, Web and Mobile
Summary:
Specifies an image that is displayed in a button, or used as the desktop icon
of a stack file or application.
Examples:
set the icon of this stack to kStackIcon
set the icon to the myAppIcon of stack "Main Settings"
Use the icon property to change a button's appearance, or to set the icon used
for a stack or application in the OS X dock.
Sadly none of this works for setting a stack icon as I would expect and I can't
find a bug report on the RR QC pages, so if I'm not missing the point or doing
something completely stupid I'll post it as a bug.
Anyway, right now this is just for use on my own Mac, but I may use it in an
app in the future, so next I looked for a shell script to do the same job, I
thought that would be the next easiest option, but I've spent far too long now
reading so much stuff from the myriad of pages returned by Google that I am so
confused now and still haven't found an answer, so before spending more time
trying to figure this out I thought it best to ask if anyone has a quick way to
do this (from within LC)?
I have figured out how to create an icns file from a png or jpeg, but I just
can't figure out how to apply it to a stack.
This should have been easy, but for some reason it's not proving to be, now
it's just got me frustrated, so if I do get this to work I'll post the solution
to RevOnline to save anyone else the same frustration.
TIA
Paul
Mac OS X 10.7.5 LC 5.5.4
