Getting generic OSX icon in standalone

[Mark Swindell]

I can't help, sorry, but I have met with a lot of frustration around  
the whole icon experience myself.  This is an area where a Rev-based  
Icon App would be very appreciated. The standalone builder icon  
scheme hasn't worked properly for me.

Bring the icons into the app, point them at the standalone(s), click  
"Assign Icons,"  and have it be so.
