Hi all,
It seems that using the new IconComposer icons via Projucer breaks support for Finder icons for any registered document file types… they fall back to the generic blank icon.
Cause: the generated Info.plist seems to hardcode CFBundleTypeIconFile to Icon, but the IconComposer path now names the actual resource after the app icon name (e.g. MyAppIcon.icns), so the reference points at a file that no longer exists.
Could the exporter be updated to use the correct filename when IconComposer is enabled (or just hard-code “Icon” always)?
Possible source code causing issue
In extras/Build/juce_build_tools/utils/juce_PlistOptions.cpp there is the hard-coding of “Icon”:
addPlistDictionaryKey (*dict2, "CFBundleTypeIconFile", "Icon");
and I think a counterpart problem line is in extras/Projucer/Source/ProjectSaving/jucer_ProjectExport_Xcode.h where the app icon name is used:
iconFile = getTargetFolder().getChildFile (getAppIconNameOrElse ("AppIcon") + ".icns");
build_tools::writeMacIcon (icons, iconFile);
Thanks,
Adam
p.s. The Projucer also seems to have this problem on my machine as I don’t see icons for my .jucer files. You can see the Projucer icns file is…
/Applications/Projucer.app/Contents/Resources/AppIcon.icns
but the plist says…
<key>CFBundleTypeIconFile</key>
<string>Icon</string>
