document icon problems on OSX

[Josh Mellicker]

I am also having icon problems:

________________________________________________________________________ 
____________________________


1.  I choose a (verified valid) icns file in the Standalone  
Application Settings dialog

2. build the standalone


RESULT: the icon is the generic OS X app icon.

Tried these four tricks:

My favorite method is to Get Info on your new app, click on the icon  
in the little box, and hit the delete key. They forces the Finder to  
update the file's appearance.

Another method is to zip the file, throw away the original, and then  
unzip. The Finder will update the icon when the app is decompressed.

A third method is to issue an AppleScript command. The command is  
"update" and you provide a file path.

You can force the icon to update in the finder by Option dragging a  
copy of the application you made.  It will duplicate the app and show  
the correct icon.  You then delete the original file and rename  
the .copy version appropriately.

RESULT: the icon is the generic OS X app icon.

MORE INFO:

The Info.plist file says (in part):

<key>CFBundleTypeIconFile</key>
			<string>RevolutionDoc.icns</string>


<key>CFBundleIconFile</key>
	<string>Revolution.icns</string>


so apparently Rev is not saving the name of my custom icon in the  
Info.plist file.

Looking in the Resources folder shows:

Revolution.icns
RevolutionDoc.icns


so apparently Rev is not saving the custom icons in the package.

WORKAROUND ATTEMPT:

1.  choose "Use None" in the Standalone Application Settings dialog

2. build standalone

RESULT: the icon is the generic OS X app icon


3. force the icon to update in the finder by Option dragging a copy  
of the application you made

RESULT: the icon is the blue "R"


4. rename my icon to Revolution.icns and replace the Rev icon

RESULT: the icon is the generic OS X app icon


5. Try the 4 tricks above

RESULT: the icon is the generic OS X app icon



Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllp!
