Changing the Rev Icon

[Devin Asay]

In my haste, I realized I hadn't really answered completely. It sounds  
like what you want to do is save stack files from a Rev-produced  
application and use them as documents for that application, not for  
Rev. At least this is a situation in which you might want to do what  
you're describing.

When you set your Standalone Applications Settings you have the option  
to designate a document icon. It has to be .icns format for Mac  
and .ico for Windows. But the OS also has to somehow be told to use  
that icon. In order for that to happen you'll have to save the stack  
using a different file extension, and, if you're on a Mac, set the  
stackFileType property. Windows users may need to chime in for tips on  
how to force the OS to recognize the icons in your stack documents.

HTH again.
