Creating an app for distribution

Miscellaneous Forums/MacOS X Discussion/Creating an app for distribution

Hi,

Yes, Phish is right, the copy and paste method is not the correct way to set the icon. Since that method changes the file's resource fork, there's no guarantee that it will be preserved.

The method Phish described is a little complicated, but it's the way it's supposed to be done (it's done automatically in Xcode). Since the BlitzMax IDE doesn't do it yet, I wrote a little app to change an app's icon. You can download it here, along with the source code if someone wants to improve on it: IconSwitcher.dmg (169Kb)
