[Solved] Editing folder icons

Post by David Knodel »

I can copy folder icons from the tiny picture at the top of the Get Info and edit them in GC, but I can't then copy and paste the changed icon back into the small icon box in the Get Info window - I have to open it in Preview and copy it from there to paste into the icon in the Get Info dialog. Can/How do I do this with just GC?
