Really Weird Icon Problem!
I'm trying very hard to customize some icons, primarily for a couple of USB pen drives I have. I have the icons I want to use and I am well aware of the usual way of using the Get Info screen of the new icon, selecting the small icon, pressing command-C to copy it, getting the info of the item (drive) I want to change, selecting the small icon and command-V to paste it back in but the results are, at best, random.
I've had the USB drive icon resort back to the default drive icon, I've had the large icon (in the Info dialog) correctly change to the selected icon but the small icon remains as the default drive (yes, tried ejecting and re-inserting the USB key just in case and the effect remains!)
I've had the Icon change to a previously copied icon! (And when I select Show Clipboard from the Finder Edit menu it is displaying the CORRECT icon that I had just command-C'd ? ?).
Basically the effects are random. After a while, selecting & pasting, I may eventually get it to work (got one of them done! Yay!) and there appears to be absolutely nothing wrong with the USB keys (plenty of free memory, no problem reading & writing to them in any other respect).
Anyone got any thoughts? I don't remember ever seeing this problem on Tiger, is it Leopard specific perhaps? Am I unique? 😉
