While using System 7.0b5 the other day, I noticed that my StuffIt Deluxe icon had vanished--in fact, the whole bundle of associated icons is gone. All SIT archives now have generic document icons, and StuffIt Deluxe itself has a generic application icon. However, the icons for the engine & the help & other things are OK. I have rebuilt the desktop numerous times under System 6 & System 7 from scratch, and this problem still persists. I even reinstalled SITD on the chance that the BNDL was corrupted, but that didn't work either. Despite the loss of the icons, the desktop still knows that SIT archives belong to the StuffIt Deluxe application (the BNDL seems to be intact). Can anyone help? This is extremely annoying (I like color icons) but does not seem to present a major problem otherwise. Willy Liao labc-1ic@web.berkeley.edu

Well, I found out why, or at least I think I did--Finder is confused by the unstuffer documents, which are all of type SIT! and possess their own bundles. By removing SITD from the disk, my archives turned in Optimal/Better Unstuffer documents. So, by removing the unstuffer documents & putting SITD back on the disk, & the rebuilding the desktop, the problem went away...But I'm left wondering if this a bug or a feature in Finder 7.
