In my app which is named LinkIt! I renamed the MetaCard.rsrc file to LinkIt.rsrc (I left out the exclamation mark since it usually causes problems). I also replaced the text Metacard with LinkIt for all occurrences inside the file. I did this in an attempt to get my own app and doc icons to appear on the desktop, a process I still don't fully understand. So far I've gotten the app icon to appear, but my docs are taking the app icon, too, instead of the doc icon. It's been a thorn in my side for a long time. I'd love to see some a simple list of the steps to accomplish this on OSX, Classic and Windows posted somewhere.

Anyone know what the MetaCard.rsrc file is that gets placed in a standalone

Can this file be safely deleted without affecting the standalone?

I've been told never to remove or rename it, but I don't know what's in it.


Ditch it and let us know what happens. :)

OK. Uh...

SMOKE! FIRE! FLAMES! CALL 911!


Actually, nothing seems to be happening. Seems to work OK. Haven't seen
any trouble (yet...). If anyone else has any specifics on this file, please
share.
