Change Document Icons

For some reason all of my web related files (html, php, css) have all had there icons changed when viewing from dialog boxes. In the finder they look fine but in other applications and dialog boxes they have all changed to Adobe GoLive style icons.
GoLive has not been recently changed and its not my default application for these file type - BBEdit is.
Does anyone know of a quick fix to get my icons changed back to the BBEdit style or the original Mac OS X style.
Thanks

Hi Mike:
I might be telling you to chase rainbows.
I am running OS X 10.6, so there may be a disconnect.
However, when I open my document folder, the folders are blue, but individual documents are a white icon with something like doc at the bottom. I consider this "normal," but we may be talking about different things...

  • Change document icons during Document Refresh

    I'm working with a custom crawler, and one of the things I do is give the document a special (a.k.a "non-default") icon based on one of the property values. During the document refresh, if this property value has changed I would like the icon to change accordingly. It's not working this way right now, though. Does anyone have any thoughts on how I could make this happen? In the 4.5 world I just ran a script against the database and changed it that way, but I would like to find a more elegant solution. Thanks!

    1. SPD cannot do what you want OOTB.
    2. You need to code.
    3. You can code inside the workflow to set the permissions you want at the end of the approval process or you can code it as an eventhandler outside the workflow process. Assuming that you are using SPD, that means creating a 'custom activity' to be called by your SPD workflow.
    4. You can find code for setting 'item level permissions' and the way to create 'custom activity' on the net.

  • When I create a New Folder (on the desktop or in Finder), the system uses the Generic Document Icon instead of the Generic Folder Icon. How can I change this back?

    When I create a New Folder (on the desktop or in Finder), the system uses the Generic Document Icon instead of the Generic Folder Icon. How can I change this back?
    All of a sudden I noticed that most of the folders on my computer were no longer using the folder icon, but the generic document icon. I had to manually change back the icon being used by opening Get Info for each folder and copying and pasting the generic folder icon from some folders that remained unchanged. Now whenever I create a New Folder (right click -> "New Folder"), the icon that shows up is the generic document icon (white page with top right corner turned down). And I have to manually change it so it shows up as a folder in Finder or on my desktop. I don't know why or how this switch happened. All of the folders now on my computer look ok, but I need to change the default so when I create a New Folder it uses the correct icon.
    I have also Forced Relaunch of my Finder and rebooted the system. I downloaded Candybar but am not sure what will fix anything, so I haven't proceeded.
    Anyone know how I can do this? Thanks.

    Anyone?

  • Why do document icons change

    During login, document icons display as the familiar icon we've become accustomed to, but when login completes, the icons change to a rather drab, generic-looking thing. For example Word documents, which used to show as the familiar blue Word document icon, are now plain white with 'DOC' at the bottom. How can I get the original icons to display?
    Thanks.

  • Question concerning document icons changing

    after I loaded 10.5.6 the majority of my document icons on my desktop do not show what type of document they are. If I create a folder on my desktop and place the document into the new folder the icons show the kind of file that it is i.e. adobe icons, word icons etc.
    Otherwise the icon is an actual tiny preview of the document contents. I should know how to adjust this but I have looked all over and cannot find the setting

    Hi,
    I hope I'm understanding you correctly. From your desktop go to the menu bar / view / show view options. you will find settings for icon size and also" show icon preview" check this and all should be back to normal.

  • Photoshop 7's icon has changed to a document icon

    After installing Tiger on my iBook (and using Software Update to upgrade to the latest version), I am no long able to open Photoshop. The applications icon has been replaced with another application's document icon!
    Specifically, Photoshop's application icon has been replaced by a MacHacha document icon, and "Get Info" claims that it is a MacHacha file. The version line still identifies it as Version 7.0.1, it is a 53 MB file, and I know it is Adobe Photoshop. It is a legal copy, and I am the owner. It just seems like Tiger has replaced the icon. And of course, it's not recognized as an application, so I can't run Photoshop, and I desperately need to!
    I've run Disk Utility on my drive, both from the drive itself and after starting up from my OSX Installation dvd. I've repaired all permissions.I've used Onyx to run all the daily, weekly, and monthly maintenance scripts that OSX uses. I've also deleted all the log files and caches. I tried deleting the whole Adobe Photoshop 7 folder with the application and other files inside, emptying the trash, and reinstalling. The application icons were screwed up again. I did what this posting on the Adobe Forums suggested:
    http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx?50@@.3bbbf896
    repairing permissions and running the CRON scripts before and after installing Photoshop. It came up with bad icons again.
    This problem only occurs with Photoshop. All of my other programs run just fine and have no problems.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!
    Ted

    I just had the same problem starting yesterday, even though I don't recall upgrading anything recently. Did you ever resolve this? For what it's worth, I have noticed that Photoshop still opens if you open a photoshop file, just not if you try to open the program from its own icon or from the dock. I'm kinda stumped.

    You need to install the HP printer software.  The installation process will place a printer icon under the Windows 8.1 Apps menu. Click on the icon and you should be able to see the Advanced setting link.

  • Document icons showing for aliases, folders with .

    After rebuilding launch services database to resolve other issues, I'm now seeing a display glitch as follows:
    aliases folders, symlinks to folders, and any folder that has a name ending with a period are showing as a generic 180x180 plist document with an alias arrow in the corner:
    As you can see the problem is intermittent. Most have this problem, but some don't.  Issue is the same in the Finder or Path Finder. 
    The keen among you will notice the folder color.  I replaced system icons in the CoreTypes bundle with those from Mavericks (because I hated the Yosemite blue color).  This could have something to do with the issue but can't really see how, as the problem didn't exist after changing the the system folder icons across many reboots; only after rebuilding launch services database.
    The get info from Path Finder shows everything the same:
    Kind: alias
    UTI: com.apple.alias-file
    alias bit: on
    custom icon: false
    type: fdrp
    creator: MACS
    permissions: 644
    owner: (me); group: staff
    open with (oddly): ViewIt
    The size is weird. On the incorrect one, it's 300kb, on the correct one it's 1.8MB. Though maybe those are the right sizes considering they are each folders that contain other folders.
    For the folders that end in a period:
    kind: folder
    UTI: public.folder
    alias bit: off, custom icon: false
    permissions: 755, owner (me); group (staff)
    open with (oddly): Path Finder
    A similar sort of problem is posted here, but it doesn't seem to help.  I could try trashing ViewIt, but not PathFinder:
    Re: Icons for Aliases not Showing up...
    Any ideas?

    Seems this was a problem with PlistEdit Pro. (as I should have guessed from the document icon.)  Trashing that app and rebuilding icon cache and rebooting worked.

  • Generic document icons for applications in Simple Finder

    I have an account setup with Parental Controls and using the Simple Finder. In the My Applications folder of the simple finder, all of the apps show up with the default blank document icon instead of the correct application icon. How do I fix this?

    Hi Warren -
    I imagine you already tried this, but just to be sure, did you change the default .tiff app in Finder? Does that change the icon? If so, what happens when you then change the default back to your app?
    If the above doesn't help, what happens when you change the Bundle Name and Executable File name of your app, then set the default .tiff app to the "new" app? Not saying this is practical if you've already distributed your app, but it might help to know the result.
    Here's some misc info that may give you more ideas: [http://ask.metafilter.com/67832/Changing-filetypes-icons-in-OS-X].
    Btw, we have at least two or three experts around here who will probably know exactly what to do. I'm only filling in until one of them shows up. So if none of the above is useful, stay tuned.

  • Getting Document Icons to appear in the Finder

    I wanted to change the icons that would appear on the .tiff files that my Cocoa multiple document application creates. I did the following: I deleted the reference to the old .icns file from my XCode project. I trashed the old.icns file and emptied the trash. I created a new .icns file using two tiffs: one for the icons and one for the masks using Icon Composer. I put the new .icns file in the project directory. I added it to the project in the resources folder. When I click on it the project shows it in the editor correctly. I edited the project target properties so the UTI is public.tiff, the Icon File is the correct name of the .icns file including the .icns extension. I checked the package box to make sure the .icns file is included in the project bundle. I clicked on the .icns file in the project and hit command I to look at the file info for the .icns file. Under the Targets tab the Target Membership is shown as checked as a member of the application. I cleaned the targets. I moved the applications from the Build and Debug folders to the trash and emptied the trash. I restarted the computer. I logged out and back on. I restarted the finder. I rebuilt the project debug target. When I run my application and save my document as a tiff on the desk top it has the generic icon but if I get info for the file it still has the now extremely non-existent old icon as its preview. If I move the file into a folder it has the old icon. It looks to me like the finder is the culprit here. It seems to be retaining the old icon somewhere.
    Any more things I can try?

  • Changing PDF Icons

    I am having some trouble managing PDF file icons... I am hoping someone here can help. I am running Leopard; everything up to date.
    I downloaded several books in PDF format. I now want to change the icons of each PDF file to match the front cover of said books. So I click on the file, get info, click on the icon on the top left, and paste the image. Everything seems to be fine on the get info screen; the icon on the top left changes to the respective image.
    I then close get info and look at the Finder window containing the PDF files. This is where the problem begins. In cover flow mode, some of the images are simply not there, or they will appear and disappear if I resize the window, or click through the preview. The icons are all correct on the bottom file listing in this mode. Looking at the icon mode, some of the icons will have changed while others will not. I primarily use the icon or coverflow modes in finder which is why this is a problem.
    I cannot detect any pattern in this behavior; some icons behave normally, most do not. All of the said images are PNG. Preview is my default PDF viewer. I am willing to do away with the "preview" function (where you can click through the PDF document within finder) in coverflow mode... it is useless anyway and I feel as if this is the actual problem. I can't seem to find a relevant set of preferences/settings, however.
    Am I missing something? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

    Whether this is your problem or not, I don't know. But there is a bug in pasting icons where the icons won't show up in Cover Flow if the source png file for the icon was opened and copied out of Preview, and is of a largish size. Don't remember what the upper limit is, but I think is is 256 pixels max dimension. Any way, I just tried one using 500 pix max, and it doesn't show up, while 200 pix does.

  • My Numbers document icons have turned black. Help?

    The document icons for my Numbers documents have turned a horizontal-streaked black color. (Kind of like the output from a very defective copy machine.) I have tried resaving the documents both without and with changes, but the icons don't change. Quick Look and Cover Flow work OK, but in the icon view the icons are ugly black. How can I restore the icons to showing the tiny previews of the documents?

    Hello
    ctrl + click on the icon of such a file.
    In the contextual menu, select "Show Bundle's contents"
    You will open the package and see
    two subfolders: one named "Contents" and one named "QuickLook"
    Double click this late one.
    You will see a jpeg icon entitled "Thumbnail.jpg"
    Double click on it.
    If it displays sadly it's that the Thumbnail.jpg file is corrupted. Trash it.
    If it displays correctly you are encountering a problem with the system, not with the document.
    And alas, in this case, I have no idea.
    Trashing the Launch Services databases would be meaningless as you are not trying to display the standard icons but the thumbnail one.

  • Document icons not visible in sharepoint 2010

    Hi
    I am working on sharepoint 2010. I have a site in which document icons are missing. Example: When going into View All Items -> Pages , the pages should be having "IE" icon to be displayed. Similarly for word , css files . All the icons
    are showing as "X". I have checked the DOCICON.XML file to be correct (compared to file present in other server).
    When trying to access the image directly eg: http:localhost:99/_layouts/images/ichtm.gif , i am able to access the image without issue.
    When looking at the properties of the image, i could get the url as http:localhost:99/_layouts/images.
    Please help me to resolve this issue.
    Thanks in advance
    Usha

    Please confirm if you see URL as http:localhost:99/_layouts/images. or http//:localhost:99/_layouts/images.
    Is it same behavior on all sites or just 1 site
    What do we see in Fiddler traces
    Did you made any changes in DOCICON.XML
    or some where else
    If this helped you resolve your issue, please mark it Answered

  • Custom document icons

    I've been trying to create custom icons for some Excel documents. I have no problem changing the icon. The problem seems to be that once I change the workbook, resave the document and then restart the computer, it goes back to a generic icon again. Any suggestions?

    Just tried it myself and you are right. Leave to Microsoft to do something weird with their apps. I've change Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign but don't use MS Office very much so never bothered.
    There is no other app that does what CandyBar does that I know of so I'm afraid you are out of luck. Unless someone can tell you how to get into the guts of the Mac and change the icon manually. Or do some googling and see if you can find it. Or write to the CandyBar people and see if they have a workaround.
    The only other option is Iconit:
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/8839
    This is like an icon catalog. It puts an icon up in the top right menu with a drop down menu with all your icons in it. Just select a file, go to Iconit and place what you want. Fastest and easiest way to change an icon, but you'll still have to change it each time you save a document.
    Or, if you have categories of files make folders with the desired icons and save your files to each folder, which won't change with each saving.
