Changing folder icon not working.

Hello,


I'm trying to change the file icons but when I try to do it it displays an 'empty png' image.


Was just wondering if anyone knew how to fix this? As it seems to work it's just not displaying the image.


Thanks,


Joe

Open the image/ icon you want to use in Preview, then click on Select All, then click on Copy.

Highlight the folder who's icon you want to change and press Command-i click once on the icon on the top left of the panel, and then press Command-v to paste the image from Preview to your folders icon.
