Thanks, Jacque. Good info. I opened the icon in Preview and yes, I see
all the images. However, they are not all the same. Some of them don't
appear to have a transparency, and one of them is a perfect square
where all the rest have rounded corners. So there are some strange
things. And when I open the icns file in Icon Composer (looks like a
great tool btw) only the 128x128 size and below load into the image
wells. There's not 256 or 512 size, even though these display in
Preview. So something is definitely goofy with the file. I'll report
these findings to the artist and see what he can do.
Thanks again.

I don't think that's necessary. At least, it never has been in the

sure it's something in the way the icon is getting created in
IconWorkshop that Rev doesn't like. So I just need someone
(hopefully familiar with IconWorkshop) to tell me how to make it
work. :-)
If you open the Mac icon file with Preview, are the images there?
That won't be a definitive test for the icon file's validity but if
they are blank in Preview it would tell you that the file format
isn't right.
There is a free icon tool included with the Developer Tools on the
OS X installation CD. You need to install the Developer Tools to see
it (it isn't part of a normal installation.) I often use it, it is
called "Icon Composer", and it creates Mac icon files in the
appropriate format. There's a Photoshop plugin too that many swear
by, but it isn't free and I haven't ever tried it. Graphic
Converter, a terrific Mac image editor, also has a free version and
it creates Mac icon files as well.
