Generic icons for files and compact flash

Can anyone tell me why an old G4 can display 'LEXAR' compactflash icons and file icons have picture previews, but the same card and reader attached to MacMini shows generic icons and blank document icons for files?...
Both running 10.4.10

Hi Eric, the answer is simple....Not at all!!!!

Change icon for file type

how to change icon for all of the tile type? not just one, but all!

Changing the file icon will not enable Quicktime to play Matroska files. Changing the file suffix might.
It could be a 'difficult' form of Matroska file. FYI Matroska is just a container like MOV or AVI, and some mkv have the video encoded with Real Video Codec (RV9 RV10). Perian+QT can't decode this, but VLC will play .mkv files just fine on OS X, as long as they don't use H.264!
It's a bit of a lottery until Matroska decide to support the Apple platform. I have found this:
http://mkv4mac.free.fr/index.php?lang=en&p=lec
which may help.
But there may be another workaround: 1. Get Info the mkv file
2. Change to extension to wmv. Save as wmv and that could work better.
Or this link may be helpful:

Recently, a poster (ZachP14) suggested this:
"There's a program called Plex that runs .mkv files awesome on my 2.0 ghz macbook."

Maybe worth a try?

JFileChooser Displays Garbage Icons for Files in 1.4.2-02

Since switching from 1.3.1 to 1.4.2-02 I no longer get meaningful icons displayed beside file names by JFileChooser. What it is displaying do not look like anything meaningful. I suspect it is just grabbing some random chunk of memory and interpreting it as an icon. In 1.3.1 I got a folder icon for directories and a dog-eared piece of paper for files. I have not changed any of the code here, except to fix a bug where I was passing an invalid object (not a Component) to showOpenDialog, and the problem occurs both before and after that change. I appreciate that I can create a FileView to display whatever icons I want, but I do not understand why the default is garbage.
     JFileChooser chooser;
     String     directory     = parent.getProperty("directory", "");
     if (directory != "")
     chooser = new JFileChooser(directory);
     else
     chooser = new JFileChooser();
     // select only Text and Excel files, but permit multiples to be chosen
     chooser.addChoosableFileFilter(new TxtFileFilter());
     chooser.setFileFilter(new XlsFileFilter());
     chooser.setMultiSelectionEnabled(true);
     // display the dialog and wait for a response
     int option = chooser.showOpenDialog(desk);

I have since determined that the problem is in FileSystemView.getSystemIcon, which returns a garbage icon on my system.

Icon for file created by an app

I have an app, created with XDroplets, that launches IDLE to create Python scripts and the app has an icon that's different from IDLE's icon. I would like for the scripts created with IDLE *launched with this particular app* to have an icon that's different from the default system wide Python source file icon. How can I do this?

I think the answer lies buried deep inside some plist
file associated with the application.
You're right. Icons for document types created by an application can be specified in the Info.plist found in the application bundle. Xcode gives you a GUI for setting up the Info.plist entries but I suppose you could edit the Info.plist file directly.
See the Property List Key Reference that describes Info.plist entries. In particular you'll want to look at the CFBundleDocumentTypes array and the description of the keys contained within it.
For a "real life" example you may also want to look inside another application bundle to see how it's Info.plist is set up. TextEdit, for example, defines several document types in it's Info.plist.

Stacks doesn't display the icons for files

My downloads stack doesn't show the icons for the files it contains
Best way to describe is by showing a photo
http://img130.imageshack.us/img130/6176/screenshot20100102at130.png
I don't know why this happens, any help would be appreciated, tried searching the internet for answers but couldn't find anything listing a similar problem

*THANK YOU!!!*
I'd been having this problem for weeks and it was driving me nuts!! I tried installing the 10.6.3 v1.1 Combo Update today (thinking the problem was caused by the first upgrade to 10.6.3), but that obviously didn't work. Tried messing w/ Airfoil b/c some people complained about it screwing up icon previews; didn't work. Tried deleting the Quicklook.thumbnailcache; didn't work.
After reading this post I opened the Console and saw a .mkv file was screwing with quicklookd.
Deleted it -> problem solved!
Thanks again!

How do I remove the icon for file version 4.42.0.0 since it will not even download?

For quite awhile I have successfully used file version 34.0.5 with no issues. Recently, I had an icon the popped up on my desktop for file version 4.42.0.0. I tried to download it, just so it would move to my control panel, so I that I could uninstall it, It will not download. So, then I uninstalled, and reinstalled 34.0.5 to see if that would solve the issue of installing 4.42.0.0, no still nothing. I really don't want or need 4.42.0.0, so how do I get rid of it ?

Q: General : Can workshop test form display a browse icon for file input?

Hi,
Is it possible to write a web service which takes in say a license file for validation
and returns a boolean true if
valid and false if not valid? Can the workshop test form display a browse icon so
that I can select the license file
from my local system? Or do I have to write an html/jsp front-end to the web service
myself?
Thanks,
Sadhana

Hi Adam,
Thanks a lot again for answering my question with such a nice
explanation!

Hi Sadhana,
Web services have two mechanisms to receive data that are part of the SOAP
1.1 specification.
The first mechanism is to pass the data as a parameter to the web service
operation
- this only works if the data is text based and can be imbedded in an XML
SOAP document
(i.e. it cannot be binary information like images or music not can it be
complete
standalone XML documents). We demonstrated this technique in class and it
is the
most common way to transmit information.
The second mechanism is to add the data to the SOAP request as an attachment
(similar
to email). This mechanism is not available directly in Workshop but WebLogic
server
does provide this capability if you use web service handlers. See the URL
below for
more information.
http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs70/webserv/design.html#1053805
There is also a third programmatic solution. You could provide a URL for
the file
or document that you want to process as a parameter for the web service
and then
the web service could use the java.net API to retreive the document dynamically
during
processing. This has obvious preformance and security problems but it might
be applicable
in some situations.
Good luck
Adam

How do I access the End User Licensing Agreement? I clicked on it and it gives me a message that I need to launch Adobe Reader, accept and close and reopen. Trouble is I can't get to an icon for file to launch. I am working on a Mac and have installed Mac

I am using a Mac and have installed Adobe Reader for Mac, latest version. I cannot access the End User Licensing Agreement. I clicked on it and it gives me a message that I must launch Adobe, check that I agree, close and reopen. The problem is I can't find any way to launch Adobe because it appears nowhere on my launch pad, nor in my document files or on the control panel. Because of this, I cannot print bank statements nor can I get into my insurance companies billing department to make a payment. HELP!

How about in your Applications folder?

Icons for file types

I recently installed some plugins to allow Quicktime (and iTunes, I imagine) to handle the free OGG format of media. However, OGG files, when downloaded, are set to open in Toast Titanium and receive a Toast-esque icon appropriately. When I changed the files (and all future OGG files) to open with Quicktime, the icon changed to a generic Document icon (blank page with corner curled). I know I can change the icon of a particular file using Get Info. Assuming I find or create an icon to represent OGG files, how do I change all future OGG files' icons to reflect this? Back in Windows I think this was called "file associations", but I could be wrong—and files were certainly less flexible there, I don't think a file could have it's own individual icon unless it were executable.

Accessing File/Folder icons for current Look and Feel

Hi,
I'm looking to get the Icon for files and folders that the current UIManager uses for some work I'm doing. Please could you help.
I'm getting strange results from the method I'm using, which is to create a temporary file and do: Icon i = FileSystemView.getFileSystemView().getSystemIcon(tempFile);
I don't like the idea of having to create a temporary file to do this - isn't there another way to do it? - for instance asking "get default file icon"/"get default folder icon".
I could download a jpg image of the file/folder icons, but this is static - and I want my method to get the icons used for the current look and feel I'm using.
There must be a simple way to do this right? I mean, java uses a method to get the icons for the current look and feel.. Oh.. Please help!
- Edd.

Try these:
UIManager.getIcon("FileView.directoryIcon");
UIManager.getIcon("FileView.fileIcon");Leif Samuelsson

Globally setting icon for a file type

I've been using LilyPond a lot recently. The .ly files it saves don't have their own icon, though, they just get the generic document icon. I know that I can manually set an icon for a single file using 'Get Info', but it's not practical now because I have so many .ly files. Is there a way I can tell OS X to use my own icon every time it sees a .ly file?
Thanks,
(- Steve -)

Hi, Stephen.
If by LilyPond you mean this application, it's the application's responsibility to assign the custom icon for files it creates, e.g. .ly files you edit and save in LilyPond. You might want to send feedback concerning this to the developers. However, as I understand the application based on a quick review of its manual, it can work with any plain-text (ASCII) file.
You can change the default application in which all .ly files open by using the instructions in "Mac OS X 10.4 Help: Changing the application that opens a document." That may result in those files bearing the same icon as the LilyPond application. That is also the mechanism by which a given icon is assigned to all files of a given type.
Good luck!

Icons Bug in Finder - Displays Random Icons for Random Files

This seems to have occurred after the latest Leopard update. Doing a search through a large folder, containing all my custom icons, for files named 'Documents', 'Dog', etc., the correct list of files comes up, yet the majority of them display a random icon. This random icon doesn't change for the individual files, as they essentially come up as one of 2 or 3 completely wrong, custom icons.
This problem occurs in Coverflow and grid view, yet not in the 'Get Info' screen nor in the listed/column view. I've restarted twice and on both occasions the wrong icons shared have changed.
Thanks in advance.

Forgive me for not explaining it well enough. The icons presented are incorrect (hence the randomness). They are not previews with white borders but rather a file that has come up early on in the search (one of the first few found) that has been applied randomly to the following results of that search. For example, a search for 'dog' will come up with, say, 40 icons. The first 10 or so will be displayed accurately, only for the following 30 to be displayed with any one of the 10 previous icons.
