Hello!
I would like to "find" the World Icon that automatically comes up
to represent the directory /Net and use it for my directories
that are actually NFS clients. More generally, how does one "attach"
an icon to a directory? If you look in /Net, there's nothing there.
Thanks in Advance!

Then set the image size to 48 x 48 and save the file as "world.tiff" or something. As far as "attaching" the icon, simply move the file to the folder you want to iconize and rename the file to ".dir.tiff" (excluding the quotes, of course). It's that easy. Hope this helps.

You should be able to extract it [the "world" icon] from the file /usr/lib/NextStep/Workspace.app/Workspace using the 'nibedit' tools, extract/combine perl scripts that I posted a few months back, or by just using segedit manually to extract it. louie

Also if you want a different icon to indicate it is receiving something (like when you drag something into folder - it opens) just place another appropriate icon (world split open maybe) and name it .opendir.tiff jim ------------------------------------------------------- James L.

Explode the attachment. > More generally, how does one "attach" >an icon to a directory? The file .dir.tiff can contain a replacement for the folder icon. The file .opendir.tiff (if it exists) will be shown if the directory is "opened." I recently posted an example of this (the "flasher" icons). > If you look in /Net, there's nothing there. /Net is magic. :-) The autonfsmount daemon mounts a virtual file system on top of it (and it will complain if /Net's not empty). This file system consists of a single root directory containing symbolic links. When autonfsmount performs a "real" mount, the mount is actually done on /private/Net/whatever, and the symbolic link is changed to point to that.
