Finder sidebar icons disappear

[Tex-Twil]

Hello,
I have some of my data folders (Documents, Download ..) on another disk with symlinks pointing to them

ln -s Data/Downloads Downloads

(Data is the mountpoint of my 2nd disk)

The problem is that the icons in Finder's sidebar disappear randomly. Instead of having the icons I just have the empty white icon.

I can restore the icon by opeting the properties of the folder and pasting the correct icon there. But I have to do that at each reboot which is annoying.

Any ideas how to fix that ?

cheers,
Tex

Finder plist corrupt?

Don't know if the above is the problem, but you can find out painlessly...

HD/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist

Drag file to the Desktop. Restart the computer. This will create a new plist file.

I have the same problem with different icons. First it was a lot of icons on sidebar and a couple of folder icons like Developer and System in my HD that was missing. When I restarted my laptop most of them were fixed but the sidebar wasn't!

Here's a screencap of my sidebar:

I tried the com.apple.finder.plist solution and it didn't fix it. Anyone has any idea?!
