Show Custom Icon in a Dock Stack, Grid View?

Hi, I have a folder with lots of pdfs placed in my dock as a stack. Is there any way to tell the Dock to show my custom icons, when present, or the default preview snapshot as it does now?
When I click on my folder in the dock, I have it set to show as a grid. When the contents are shown, the finder generated document preview icons are shown. For some documents, I have created custom icons for quick visual identification. When I view the document in a finder folder window, the custom icon shows, as expected, but not when I view the folder contents in a dock stack.
Thanks

I have placed a network drive in the dock to act as a stack so that I quick click of that icon will mount the drive, and then the icon acts as a stack. This network drive has a custom icon. When I have the stack set to "display as stack", I get the stack icon in the dock. When I then change to "Display as folder", the custom icon appears in the dock in place of the stack icon UNTIL I click on the icon to display its contents. When I click again, the icon reverts to the generic network drive icon. I'd like the custom icon to remain in the dock. Any thoughts?

Custom icon lost from dock when clicked.

Hello.
I'm currently running OS 10.6.1 on 15" MBP w/ 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM. I experienced this same issue in Leopard, but was hoping Snow Leopard would fix it. I thought it did, but it just happened again.
I keep several documents in the dock that I use very frequently (three MS Excel workbooks, 1 FM Pro database). For some reason, when I click on any of the Excel docs, the custom icon I have assigned to it is lost. Even when I reveal in Finder, the icon has just been removed, and the standard Excel icon shows.
The funny thing is that the custom icons, when replaced, seem to last for several clicks, then for some reason, they just go away when the doc is clicked.
Has anyone experienced this issue? Any help would be awesome.

Hi eye sean,
The program icons on your Dock (App Store, System Preferences) are alias links (shortcuts) and not the programs themselves. You can't delete them by removing them from the Dock. Now, if somehow they were accidentally removed from the /Applications folder then that's a bigger issue. I take it neither of the programs or in that folder?
If that's the case there's two things I'm aware of worth trying:
Run a repair Disk Permissions from the installation disc that came with your computer
Reinstall the Operating System via the installation disc
If System Preferences (the application) is completely gone, then it's option #2. If it's corrupted the disk permissions may resolved it. I'd say you could make a new user to see if a preference pane that's specific to your current user is causing problems, but without System Preferences access that's not really a valid option.

Desktop/Finder not showing customized icon for external drives

I have customized the icons for my external drives (as well as several folders within), but they show up as generic icons on the desktop and in the finder. This only occurs in my Admin account (which I'm using). The customized icons show in the standard guest account I created. Are there any settings I should change?

Any chance the show / hide is not selected in your actual finder folder, not the preferences? I just went 'round with this for a half hour until I noticed that somehow the 'show' was clicked to 'hide' for some reason.....

Show custom EditForm from a specific document library view

Hello,
I've created a custom EditForm that I would like to show when the user clicks the "<label for="ShouldDisplayEdit">Edit" (link to edit item)</label> icon; however I just want to show this EditForm for a specific view.
I have a listview webpart (actually an "app") for the library and this specific view set on a page. However, it opens the default edit form instead of the custom one. (StatusEdit.aspx). I don't want to set StatusEdit.aspx as the default, as it
has fewer fields than the default edit form.
I am able to hide fields conditionally using SPClientTemplates.TemplateManager.RegisterTemplateOverrides, but it's been a lot of work to try to make it match the requirements I have. I'd really like to have the custom edit form work if it's possible.
Thank you for your help!
Best Regards,
Kevin Worthington

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to specify the custom EditForm for a specific document library view.
We can change the link to edit item button url using Jquery to achieve it.
Here is a code snippet for your reference:
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function changeurl()
$(' ms-itmHoverEnabled ms-itmhover ms-droppable).find('ms-vb-lastCell ms-cellstyle ms-vb-icon ms-vb-lastCell').attr(‘href’,”http://new url”);
</script>
Here are some detailed articles for your reference:

Icons no longer display in grid view in Yosemite

Hello,
All of a sudden, the icons in folders no longer display in Grid view, but only in the other kinds of view list etc.
Please, I need your help since that is the preferred method I use to display my icons
Here is a link to the screenshot of what I see for further reference:

Any help would be more than appreciated! I am desperate!

Right click the Application icon in the Dock.
Select "Grid" or "Automatic" under "View content as" from the menu that pops up.

Icon size of dock stacks

Is there a way to change the size of icons that appear when you click on a stack in the dock?

no, that's fixed.

Customizing icons in Dock: is it true you can't?

Is it really true you can no longer create custom icons for the Dock?
(yes, I get that you can arrange the top icon in that folder in such a way that it shows up as the folder's icon...sort of.)
The Dock's loss of productivity is such that for the first time ever, I'm telling colleagues to not upgrade to Leopard.

I found a solution for this, sort of... The icon in the Dock is only the plain folder, if the folder is empty. Once you put any items in it, the icon of the folder changes to a "stack of icons" with the most visible top item being the first item in the sort order. If the sort order is alpha-numerical, then the top-of-the-stack item is the one the starts with the lowest number. Honestly, I don't know what the interface design folks at Apple were thinking, but here's a way make it look then way you want.
If you want the Dock icon of that special folder (or "stack" as it's called now) to look like the icon you want, here's what I did. (1) Do a Get Info on the special icon folder in Finder. (2) Select the icon in the Get Info window and Copy it. (3) Open that special folder and create a New Folder inside. (4) Do a Get Info on that new folder, click on the icon, and Paste the special icon image so that it looks like the parent folder. (5) Change the new folder's name so the it is first alpha-numerically; I just used "00" (that's two zeros) as the name. (6) Go back up one level to see the parent folder in a Finder window, and drag it to the Dock.
Since the first item in the stack is now the folder with the desired icon, it will appear in the Dock. If fact, the other items will appear to be stacked behind it, which actually looks appropriate. Ultimately, I hope Apple provides an Dock preference option to show the icon of the folder instead showing the stack.

Dock & stack icon bug on draging files

I dragged a file (an alias) above some folders (they had custom icons) in my dock and suddenly it freaked out. I had to restart the dock to get rid of it.
Here you'll find a screen of it:
http://www.sereema.de/Bilder/Sonstiges/ImageBugDock.jpg
As you can see the both folders to the right bottom and some icons of the stack are involved.

It came again:

And it stayed until I killed the dock. Annoying.

Why do some icons in applications dock appear 'broken'

From time to time when installing an app on the iMac and then clicking the dock application I find that when the grid of apps is displayed that the icon appears somewhat 'greyed out' with a circle and diagonal bar overlaid. What causes this. So far, this has only happened with a few apps that I installed from non-Apple sources. The app still works ok.
Thanks.

Hi,
I do not have Rosetta installed on my system yet the apps I refer to all run fine. The only issue is the greyed out icon with the circle and diagonal bar (not an X). Also, the icons are not on the dock. They are inside the Applications folder. When I click on the Application folder icon on the dock, the grid pops up. It's there that the greyed out icon is visible. If I look in the Applications folder using Finder the tiny icon is just fine.
I tried moving the 'greyed out' icon from the Dock's Application grid and dropping it on the desktop. That works. It creates a proper icon that is a link to the app in the Applications folder. The 'greyed out' icon still remains in the pop-up Application grid. If I click-drag the 'greyed out' icon from the pop-up grid to the actual Dock the icon appears properly.
So to repeat, I do not have Rosetta installed and I am running Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and when I click on a 'greyed out' icon the app starts and runs OK.

List View shows all tracks of CD, grid view is missing tracks

I imported all my CDs into my iTunes library over the holidays. Over 40 GB of music. Now, I discover a flakey problem. On a CD, if I view via list view, the library shows 13 tracks. When switching to grid view and double-clicking on album, it shows tracks 1,2,4,6,9,12
When I use windows explorer, the iTunes folder only shows tracks 1,2,4,6,9,12. Yet I can play all 13 tracks on PC and iPod. Where are the 'missing' tracks being stored and why don't they show in both views? This is happening on quite a lot of the CDs that were imported, but others are fine.

This is most likely due to the content of the ID3 tags in the imported files. If a track features more than one artist, iTunes uses the first artist in the list to sort and organise the files. So one or more files imported from a CD might be stored in another artist's folder. iTunes plays the full album because it knows where all the tracks are (by virtue of the iTunes library database).
To get around this problem, edit the information for all the tracks on an album so the the "Artist" tag has the main artist first in the list.

Playing a playlist with multiple albums in Grid View in iTunes 8

Hi All,
Here is a situation I came across, that was quite unexpected compared to the behaviour in iTunes 7.
Suppose I have a playlist with multiple artists/albums. I have this playlist in Grid View. I choose this playlist from the left side navigation tree and press the play button. This playlist is set to shuffle by songs. I expect it to play a song and jump to the next song. iTunes 8 would just keep playing the same songs in the first album listed in the Grid View and would not jump to any other.
http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/4726/itunes20080910191124oh2.jpg
In this screenshot above, it will keep the songs in "The Very Best Of". If I press Ctrl+L (show now playing) then it would show only the songs in this album. This quite explains why it doesn't play other songs.
To explain a bit more on what's happening:
If I go to List View the song now playing does not have the Now Playing icon:
http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/1113/itunes20080910191500vf3.jpg
Notice it is playing "Opa Opa" but in the List View, it doesn't show it.
This is because in Grid View if you play a song from the playlist, it has its own "virtual playlist"
http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/5269/itunes20080910191525wl1.png
Notice the now playing icon there.
Why is this the case?
I hope you guys understood what I was trying to explain.

turingtest2: I had already done exactly what you described in the *"Missing Artist or Album not with others by same artist"* section of your article. But what I hadn't done was the advice you gave as the last sentence in this section...*"In addition if you change the Compilation status of tracks they may be temporarily treated as tracks from an Unknown Album, again things should resolve themselves if you close and reopen iTunes".* As soon as I closed and restarted iTunes, the Unknown Album with five tracks disappeared and the tracks were again displayed with the correct album.
Your article is a great read, even for people who understand iTunes...there is a lot of helpful advice there to have bookmarked just in case any of the other problems you address are ever encountered. Thanks for taking the time to compile it and share it iTunes users.

How to rearrange single photo in grid view

This seems like a silly question, but my library was imported and one photo out of 1000 shows up at the beginning in the grid view. I'd like to move it to the correct chronological location so it fits in with all the the others.
I can't figure out how to select a single photo and reinsert it into another location in the grid or filmstrip.
What is the easiest way to complete this operation? Seems to me I should be able to select it and simply drag the image...
The help file seems to show only global methods for rearranging order. I want to manually move a few images around.

User order only works in Folder or Collection (including Quick Collection) Views. And only the lowest (non Parent) level unless Menu/Library/Include Photos from Subitems is unchecked.

Lightroom does not open from the dock or out of applications (directly). I only have the lightroom bar on the top of the screen. It allows me manually to select a catalog that I want to open but then I get the message "an error occured when attempting to change modules and a blank lightroom opens.
Sometimes I am able to create a new catalog but as soon as I close LR and want to open it again the next day or an hour later everything is gone/cannot open LR again.
I tried to reinstall LR. No change.
I am using Lightroom 1.3.1 on a Mac Book Pro 10.4.11
Hope somebody can help!!!

wow.
well i just found the solution to my problem. Well i found the cause, not a solution really. All this problem seems related to the fact that i had my albums sorted by Ratings. If i sort them back by artist, it's all good!!
This is really frustrating, come on, this isn't suppose to pass Q.A. tests.
Even more, if i sort them in descending order instead of ascending, it works, but i got my favorite albums on the bottom.. i guess it's a work around.
Now also.. why did they put ratings but no options to filter by ratings? and where are Smart Playlists? Go Itunes, be more Iphoto! :P
