Hello,

I've created a custom folder icon with Icon Composer.
When I apply the icon to a folder, it changes in the Finder, but when I QuickLook the folder, it shows a blank QL page.. (i.e. no icon)

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
 
Best guess - quicklook does not fully support .icns files. Obviously most icons show up with quicklook so that is strange though. How are you "applying" it?
After a lot a messing around with IconBuilder and Icon Composer I tried img2icns and it worked perfectly.

I'm dragging the icon to the 'Get Info' window, onto the folder icon and it works (also in QL)

I wonder why shareware like IconBuilder aren't doing their jobs...
