Automate File Icon Thumbnail

Post by stuartmitch.home »

I am new, today, to Graphic Converter. My initial reason for using is the ability automatically create specific file icons (i.e. not the generic product icons) for SketchUp files (.skp's) but I can now see it as a very powerful tool.I am struggling with my first task. I can create the required icons and see these when using GC browser. (The icons are stored within the SketchUp files but are not created and shown in Finder on the Mac.) My question is this. Can I make the icons created in GC also visible in Finder and in the "Open File" window within SketchUp.Any support / advice would be greatly appreciated.Cheers....Scotty
