So I have this beautiful NSImage and a NSFileWrapper. I had assumed that NSFileWrapper's setIcon: method set the file icon which is viewed in the Finder. Apon closer inspection, this proved to be incorrect.

So, my question is -- how do I change a file's icon in cocoa? I thought for sure there would be a nice cocoa method for it, like there is for changing type/creator codes, but I could not find it anywhere.

Any ideas?

Nope. Gotta use Carbon. See Icons.h for how to create an 'icns' data structure (or look in the archives of the macosx-dev mailing list for an ObjC class someone wrote for the same purpose). Then use the Resource Manager to save it in the proper place to be the file's custom icon (see Inside Mac for that).

Thanks Rickster. I'll have to spend a few days figuring all this out.
