document icon problems on OSX

[Devin Asay]

Josh,

I'm not the expert on this matter, but I can throw out a couple of  
ideas that may help you.

1. Even when Rev successfully uses your custom icon it does not  
rename the .icns file in the bundle Content/Resources folder. It's  
always called Revolution.icns.

2. Check the creator type in your standalone settings for OS X. If  
you are using the creator code ???? (the default, I think) it may  
always show as generic app icon. You might try to see what happens if  
you register a creator code with apple and recompile using the new  
creator code. (See <http://developer.apple.com/datatype/>.)

3. Does the icon show up okay if you copy the file to another machine  
where it has never existed? If so, there may be some kind of caching  
issue on your Mac.

4. There is some way to delete the application DB on your OS X  
system, but I've forgotten how to do it (anyone know?) That might fix  
it.

5. I may be completely out to lunch.
