EAKSTER  Does not seem to work with 10.6 snow leopard.

The "folder" icon does not show up, just the application icon only.

Also can we get this automated so that when you drop an application onto it will automatically change the parent folder to the new folder icon?

Thanks, great app

Y-GUY  Its been over a year since I picked up this app and I still find myself using it and appreciative that its quick, easy and free.

I've never had it lock up or cause any problems.

Having changed my folder appearances a couple of time this app made it easy to make those changes. About the only thing I wish it would do is export the image into an icon for use with CandyBar.

MATTHEW GREEN  fantastic little application, i've been looking for something like this for ages. so SIMPLE! i've been snagging a few images here and there and using instant alpha in preview to clean up the backgrounds

i think the only way you could improve on this is to add some kind of masking feature to make images like the os original folder icons

NANOTRON  This little application is perfect!

Excellent when wanting to identify your folder with its respective Application. For instance, I used it to to attach the Garageband icon to my Garageband folder.

It also works with Finder generated previews for a given file, which for me becomes the most useful part.

Thanks!

Y-GUY  Works great, I've been wanting a few custom folders and this did the trick, quick easy and most of all it just works!

Even snagged the MU logo, cut it down, removed the background and applied to the folder I kept with all the software from the last MU Promo!

Thanks!
