Hello. Thank you to you both for your comments.
Eric : I am running on OSX 10.9.2. I don’t know what to answer about the deamons. I have not done anything with that. Chris : I have seen this post. Thus my comment about the temporary folders. I have rebooted without deleting any folder and it changes nothing. I must, I’m afraid, admit I have never worked much with the Console application. I know it’s for viewing logs, but I can’t navigate it very well. I will try, but if you could spare a few moments more to nudge me in the right direction, it would be appreciated. I would be happy to try and delete or create the appropriate folders. I had gathered as well that it was a OSX problem more than a Macports one, but did not know where to get help. Don’t know if it makes any sense, but the first time I ran into the problem (OSX version 10.9.1), the IconServicesAgent would launch after a selfupdate. I think it might be because after the rsync, OSX wants to update the icon for every file in the tree. I might make no sense at all. Just a thought. Anyhow, thanks again to you both.
