Icon for Alias' not showing on Dock

[DiscardedPacket]

I normally have an alias for Documents and Downloads on the Dock, so when you click them it opens a finder window that goes directly to those folders.



As of the Ventura upgrade, these icons display on the dock as a generic white document icon instead of their respective Documents/Downloads icon. The alias' work as expected without issue, but the icons are wrong.



Is this a bug? and if so will it be fixed?

I don't know why it's doing that, but you can fix it yourself. Just remove those from the Dock and replace them with their respective Documents and Downloads folders.

Not really.

I don't think you understand the reasoning for using Alias' here.

If you put an Alias on the dock, when you click it it actually opens the destination folder in a finder window; much more useful.

fine. delete those. make new aliases, see if those work...

I just tried adding some myself and get the same blank page icon. Seems to be a bug, no one knows when it'll be fixed. Maybe report it to Apple.

Btw, you can Option-Command-click regular folders in the dock, and it'll open the folder in Finder rather than doing the Fan, Grid, or List effect.

yeah, agreed.

And, that is a good workaround for the moment, thanks!

Documents and Downloads both have their own shortcuts too.

Documents, cmd-O
Downloads, cmd-L

Review the Go menu for others.

For those interested, here is the workaround the works perfectly.

Still pretty sad that this is required though!
