"Generic" icons usually means the OS doesn't know what those files are, hence it doesn't know what to do with them. The OS keeps a list of "association" (don't know the right term) to link file extensions or file types to the kind and the application it will use to open files. Maybe the G5's OS lost the association for the JPEG. Maybe some app mangled that. Anyway (if I get your problem correctly), to tell to the OS what the file has to be associated with, in the Finder you select the file and call "Get Info" (File menu). On the subsequent window, in the "Open with" popup menu, you select the default application that will open that file. This should give the file the proper icons (and association). If you also click the "Modify everything" (I don't know the right name, I'm using an Italian OSX) button right underneath, that association will be extended to all the files with the same extension (e.g. "JPG"). Oh, BTW, do those files have an extension at the end? It might be necessary (or helpful). -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
