I have just downloaded a Pixadex iContainer of system replacement icons. I extracted the icons into Pixadex, but now I want to apply them using CandyBar. Other than dragging and dropping each icon from Pixadex into its respective location in CandyBar, is there a more efficient way to select all the system icons I want to apply and then just send them to CandyBar without doing something very tedious? I have tried experimenting, but I haven't been able to find a way.
Thanks in advance!

go into pixadex.
select one of the icons.
get info on the icon.
at the bottom of the info window, you'll see an arrow that says candybar.
expand this section.
select the category and icon its supposed to be.

still tedious, but once you do it once, you never have to do it again.

Okay, yeah I know of that method as well, but, as you said, still tedious. Thanks for your help .. but is there another quicker way to do it or is that the best option?

The quickest way to do this is to Control-click on the collection itself in the collection list and then pull down the "Send to CandyBar" option at the bottom of the contextual menu. If the iContainer has icons set to CandyBar specific wells, Pixadex will send them all at once. Hope this helps.

Thanks for this hint. I tried it and it's an improvement over the individual changes. However, I have the following issue: I applied the Minium set via ShapeShifter. After re-setting to Apple Default Icon Set in SS and a log-out I now have a mixture of the Samui set, applied as per IF Webmaster's hint, but most folders still are in Minium. I haven't quite figured out how Pixadex, Candy Bar and SS work with each other, or rather don't.....
