Custom Icon for Windows.exe from a Mac

It doesn't seem possible to insert a custom icon for a Windows executable when working on Captivate on a Mac, is that right? The documentation (below) seems to gloss over this shortcoming.
Custom Icon
You can customize the icon that is displayed for the executable file. Click Browse (...) to add a custom icon for your file. Ensure that the icon file has a .ico extension (on Windows)/.icns (for Mac).

I tried submitting this same problem as a feature request and/or bug report.
Unfortunately, and somewhat disconcertingly, the Captivate Bug Report form also doesn't work. No matter how thoroughly I entered my request, I got these error messages:
The following error(s) must be corrected before this form can be completed:

  • Should custom icons for USB appear on other Macs?

    I have a custom icon for my flash / usb drive that doesn't appear in other Mac computers. The default icon appears. I haven't been able to test it on another Leopard Mac.
    Is this regular behavior or not? Is there a way to make other Macs show it? I looked around for info about this and didn't see it. Thanks, guru pals.

    Normal. Stored in launchservices.plist, I think. But it is normal. Not like an MP3, where the album art can be stored on the file.

  • Scrambled icons for Windows .EXE and .MSI files in Finder.

    For some reason the icons in Snow Leopard for .exe files and .msi files show up as a scrambled image. I wish there was a way to upload a screenshot. Is anyone else seeing this problem. I do have VMware Fusion installed. Not sure if that is causing the issue.
    Just to be clear, the icon are scrambled in the Finder, not in any of the VMware sessions.

    I'm getting the same thing. When I look at the get info information they are associated with Windows explorer in Bootcamp, so I just changed them over to be associated with VMWare Fusion, which gives me nice plain icons.
    I wish there were some way to say all exe files get a certain custom icon. Then I would use the Fusion icon.

  • How can i change the Director App Icon for Windows?

    How can i change the icon for my App for Windows? Director can do this from the Publish Settings. The Custom icon for app doesn't work. I select a .ico file for windows and Director can't attach this to the app.
    There is anothe way to do that simple like in Mac with the Contest folder?
    Regards
    Gino Delgado

    You can also try my RiEditor here: http://www.director-online.com/dougwiki/index.php?title=Resource_and_Icon_Editor
    However, to answer your original question directly, I suspect there's something wrong with your .ico file as the feature in the publish settings works just fine, last I tried.

  • Custom icon for Boot Camp partition on Snow Leopard desktop?

    I have a Boot Camp partition (NTFS) with Windows XP. In Snow Leopard, the partition shows on the desktop with a generic hard drive icon. I'd like to change this to a custom icon, but when trying to paste over the generic icon in the Get Info window, Edit->Paste is grayed out.
    In Leopard, it was possible to have a custom icon for a Boot Camp partition by formatting a thumb drive as FAT32, pasting the custom icon onto it in the Get Info window, booting into Windows XP, and copying two invisible icon files from the thumb drive to the NTFS drive. This would display the custom icon for the Boot Camp partition icon on the Leopard desktop. This doesn't work in Snow Leopard.
    Is it possible to use a custom icon for a Boot Camp partition on the Snow Leopard desktop?

    I don't see this option in Properties for the Boot Camp volume. In any case, I believe the custom icon is set correctly for the C: drive in Windows. I followed he procedure in the second paragraph of my initial post, which I learned from a post over a year ago. I copied the two hidden files .VolumeIcons.icns and ._ File _ to the C: drive. When I boot into Leopard, the correct custom icon for the Boot Camp partition appears on the Leopard desktop. But when I boot into Snow Leopard, only a generic hard drive icon appears on the desktop for that partition.

    No one knows of any fix for this in Snow Leopard? The custom icon shows up OK when I boot into Leopard, but not in Snow Leopard.

  • Custom icon for my USB flash drive?

    Alright, now I realize I'm probably missing something here, but it's getting away from me here. All I want to do is have a custom icon for my flash drive that will show up on any Mac that I plug it into.
    As it is, I can assign a coustom icon (by doing the old get-info-copy-and-paste-the-icon thingie), but it doesn't show up when I plug it into another Mac. I just get the generic disk icon. What am I missing? This has to be quite simple.

    Trey,
    I may be PITW, but I think the icons used to represent various volumes/devices are (if customized) specific to a system (not the volume/device). Thus you would have to set the custom icon for your flash drive on each system you wanted to see it.
    A WAG: I haven't the slightest idea if it would work for a flash drive, but for a CD one would drag the custom icon (.icns file) to the root level of the CD and rename it .VolumeIcon.icns before burning the CD.

  • Custom icon for boot camp disk?

    I have a Win XP boot camp disk partition (NTFS file system) on an internal hard drive. I want to use a custom icon for this partition on my OS X desktop. However, when I select the icon of this partition in a Get Info window, the only Edit option that ever appears is to Copy the icon. That is, I cannot paste another icon over it (the Paste option is grayed out).
    Is this due to the partition being Windows? Is there a way other than the Get Info method for applying a custom icon? I'm using 10.5.2, but the same thing happened with 10.5.1, and also using a fresh test account.

    Did you know you could have converted the drive to NTFS within Window (not reformatting and losing everything)? I converted mine from FAT32 to NTFS a few months back, lucky for me I already had a drive icon in OSX so the conversion kept the icon.
    For your case though, do this:
    1) Paste your icon (in the Get Info window) onto a USB thumb drive formatted as FAT32. The name of the drive doesn't matter.
    2) Launch Windows through Boot Camp, Parallels Desktop, or VMware Fusion.
    3) Open the thumb drive in Windows.
    4) Select Folder Options… from the Tools menu, and set it to show invisible files.
    5) Copy the two files .VolumeIcon.icns and ._[cr]File, where [cr] is a carriage return, to the NTFS drive.

  • Custom Icon for application file

    I can make director allow me to have a custom icon for appliacation file.
    In director I have attempted this several times where I have tried to have my appliaction file have an icon.  I have purchased two icon program Candy Bar and Fastincs trying to remedy this problem.
    As you see here I am using an ins file created in Fastincs.  Now here is an image to the path and the icon itself Applipcations/ Adobe Director 11/3 HorseLogo.mac.ins
    So there is the setup now when I complile for my program file I get this.
    See the grey Director icon I don't want that I want the three horse logo.
    I also tried to assign the logo after publishing the file.
    then I drag my icon file in
    The program created in director still wont see the icon file.
    If I use Candy bar (icon application)  I get a  different result. The icon works
    in both finder and on the task bar
    This is exactly what I want.
    I works until I try to move the entire package into an installer program  I am using BitRock.  When I compile the installation program then try to run the application I get the following message
    If I choose ignore the install continues.  But I have no icon.
    I am desperate , weeping , screaming , and almost a lost cause, any help any help at all I could really use.
    Thanks

    Hi Robin,
    I'm more of a PC person rather than Mac. I would recommend you look at the Resource and Icon Editor page at:

    It may fix your icon issue from Director.

    I hv lost my icon for iphoto on my Imac Mac OSX10.5.8.   I still hv my pics but can no longer creat albums and events.  If I upgrade to the latest Mountain Lion, will my pics go into the new iphoto?

    From where did you lose the iPhoto icon? From the Dock? If so, then it's still in your Applications folder. Find it there then drag the icon back into the Dock. If it's no longer in Applications perhaps you've moved or renamed it. Use Spotlight to search for "iphoto."
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion will not affect your iPhoto Library unless you erase the hard drive first. Be sure you backup before any system upgrade.
    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory

           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)

  • How to change the icon for 'windows group' in Java 1.6 [Windows XP] ?

    Hello,
    I was wondering if there is a possibility to change the icon for 'windows group' in Java 1.6...
    I'm using Windows XP SP2. Now the windows from my Java 1.6 application are grouped with the standard Sun icon [screen below] on the group.
    http://img382.imageshack.us/img382/8995/iconbl1.png
    I would like to change the icon for my own. Is there a way to do that ?
    Please help.

    Whichever icon I use for the main frame (I tried few), after grouping the main frame and other sub-frames the icon is changed to standard 'Java Sun' icon as you can see in the screenshot from my first post. The problem occurs only when frames are grouped, when the are separated in the task bar their titles and icons are ok...
    So how can I change the icon/title for the group only (for Java 1.6 in Windows XP) ?

    Thanks,

    Contact Adobe sales or Adobe Customer Service.
    You would have to upgrade to CS6 for Mac as a "cross-grade" or platform swap.
    They will not allow you to simply swap for CS5 Mac, because CS5 is no longer sold or supported.
    You can either upgrade to CS6 Mac by way of platform swap for some $200, or you can join the Cash Cow subscription mode.

  • Looking for Windows files on a Mac

    On my Macbook Pro OS X 10.9.4 Processor 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7 Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR 3 when starting a existing project I get a message about a file the program is not able to load.
    So it asks me to point the location. The question is as follows: Where is the file 'C:\Program Files\Adobe\Premiers Pro 1.5\Presets\Textures\Business Title_7.tga'?
    I'm using a Mac and when I search for the file it's not on my computer.
    It's looking for a file in a curtain folder.
    Could you give an advise what to do?

    Hello A.T. Romano,
    I’m using Adobe Premiere Elements 12
    Version 12.1 (20140225.12.1.620828)
    I get the message when opening an already made project in which I added a Title.
    In the ones without a title I don’t get the message.
    So it is something connected to the use of titles.
    I used RedBulbs as a title.
    When I click ‚Skip’ or Offline my project opens correctly and I don’t miss any media. Even the title part is OK.
    I hope this describes the problem enough and hopefully you can give me some advise.
    Best regards,
    Rob de Ridder

    What version of Premiere Elements are you using on your Mac computer?
    Do you ever get this
    Where is the file 'C:\Program Files\Adobe\Premiers Pro 1.5\Presets\Textures\Business Title_7.tga'?
    when you open a new project or do you get this message only when you go to open an existing project?
    If only for existing projects, then please tell us if this existing project was created with title templates and/or Instant Movie themes.
    If so please detail.
    If you click "Skip" to the "Where is the file....?" message, does your project open without problem? And if so, do you see any missing media
    displays in the workspace? And if so where?
    We will be watching for your follow up.
    Thanks.

  • Custom icon for module_webappsresultsmap

    As the title says...
    When you make a search on the Google map, the icon that shows where the place  is, is a standard Google Map icon.
    Is it possible to override and add a custom icon for this?
    It would be nice to have it within the tag...
    ie. {module_webappsresultsmap,GoogleKey,width,height,ResultsPage,SortType,Image}
    Or have the image within the web app so that each location has a different icon.
