Then later on 6/15/07 ~davidLaakso wrote: >Answer the question I asked or start your own thread. Maybe we could help if you explain yourself more. The answers you've been given relate to what's up with file icons -- if an icon is from a browser, then when you double-click the icon, the file will open in that browser; if the icon is one from BBEdit, then the file will open in BBEdit. We told you how to change a file's icon by manipulating its "open with" setting -- and how this applies to the setting for all files of a certain extension or type. So, given your rejection of this advice, and your statement above, >>>Nevertheless, it should carry the icon of my default browser >>>when saved. we're left wondering what your problem is. Either you misunderstand something very basic about file icons or everyone who has offered help has misunderstood your question. Perhaps you could try again. Was what you say you want happening up to some point, and then stopped happening? What behavior do you want from .html files?
