peppermintesse: (Happy Mac)
[personal profile] peppermintesse
So there's been this thing that's been bugging me for years: all of my old files from back in the day (i.e. Mac Classic OS) had old, pixelly desktop icons, and I couldn't figure out how to get them to display with the shiny new icons. To wit:



Thankfully, someone else knew! \o/

So if this has been bugging you too, the short version: either cut the icon out of the Get Info window, script this to happen, or use CocoThumbX to drag and drop the files into the program -- folders full of files! And now, no more ugly pixelly icons! YAY!

(To show the spiffy icons: in the Finder, choose View > Show View Options > Show Icon Preview)
