I have a jpg file the image of which I wish to use as an icon for a program.

when I use the advised strategy of copying its icon to the icon in the info page of the program, I get a change -- but to the generic icon for jpg files, rather than the actual image of the content of the particular file.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

You can convert the jpeg file to an icon file and use that as the image, with this application: img2icns

Drag the jpg onto img2icns window, save it as an icon. Copy and paste this as per the method you mentioned previously.

tested to work on 10.6.8
