Dock Icons not working

Post by fommil »

Hi everyone,

I've been an Adium user for over a year and today I replaced my HD as the old one was crashing... after installing the latest Tiger and restoring my old home directory, I installed Adium.

However, custom Dock Icons no longer work for me. I may select any of the pre-installed packages, but not any that I download from the extras website (e.g. Milk, Hobbes). The sound and smiley extras work... so this is a mystery. It was definitely working in my old install of Tiger.

Anyone have any insight?

I should point out that I chose a case sensitive file system when installing Tiger. Perhaps that has something to do with this? I upgraded a Panther install the last time, which didn't have a case sensitive FS option. that's the only difference I can think of.

Ya, I believe there's a known issue with case sensitive systems and dock icons. I don't remember if it's fixed in 1.0.

hmm, i really regret the case sensitive choice. it was motivated because subversion didn't play well with fake case sensitivity... but it's been breaking quite a lot of stuff.

any chance of the case sensitive fixes making it into the next release? or, a hack to fix (by renaming) the dock icons I want to install.

The problem is usually that the plist lists files in a different case than the actual file names. Look into fixing that in the dock icon set.

nope... that's not the problem. the problem is that the actual icon set itself needs to be named "Name.AdiumIcon" with the correct capitalisation. i.e. Name.adiumicon or Name.Adiumicon will not work.
