Problem: I have written a download program but cannot get MultiFinder to properly redisplay the application's new ICON after downloading. Obviously as a file is being downloaded it's BNDL resource is unavailable so I avoid setting any finder flags until after the file is complete and closed. (Multifinder has already seen it by close time and has it displayed as a standard application ICON.) I've tried various combinations of Inited and HasBundle flags but none seem to work. Evidently there is a way to do this properly because the MPW 3.0 linker when linking a new application essentially has the same condition and MultiFinder redisplays the proper ICON at the end of a link. An attempt to examine Finder flags of a file while it's being linked show initially the type to be APPL and a null creator field. I've tried doing the same but to no avail. Thanks in advance. -- Dave Trissel ut-sally!im4u!oakhill!davet
