Examples:
set the icon of this stack to kStackIcon
set the icon to the myAppIcon of stack Main Settings
Use the icon property to change a button's appearance, or to set the icon used
for a stack or application in the OS X dock.
Sadly none of this works for setting a stack icon as I would expect
and I can't find a bug report on the RR QC pages, so if I'm not missing
the point or doing something completely stupid I'll post it as a bug.
It works, but as it says, it only sets the dock icon. It isn't intended
to change the icon of the application itself.
To do that, you need to replace the icns file inside the app bundle, and
then use the shell touch command to update the Finder database.

Re: Set the Finder icon of a stack?
Thank you for your reply Jacque. I spent some more time playing with this and
eventually realised it only affects the Dock Icon.
I think the dictionary is a little misleading, the summary states; or used as
the desktop icon of a stack file or application, so I read desktop icon =
finder icon, sadly not, desktop icon = dock icon only.
Seems odd that something that is so easy to do in the Finder is such a pain to
do by script.

You're right, it is. You could add a user note in the dictionary and save future generations some hair. Or file the bug report as a documentation error. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
