A 'Drag and Drop' Application that changes the 'Use Custom Icon' flag in any file dropped onto it.
Why ?
Although you may compile an Application with a Custom Icon in the Resource Fork, Turbo Pascal, and others, leave you to Set the Use Custom Icon flag with ResEdit. If this fag is not set then Finder will ignore your Custom Icon and use the 'Standard' Icon.
• For System 7.0+ (why would you use it with an older version of the system ?).
• InstallCustomIcon II now checks for a Custom Icon and Sets the flag if an Icon is found.
• InstallCustomIcon II will Clear the flag if you are holding the Option key down while it works it's magic.
This App works by checking the Finfo record of the Target file and if the Flag is '0' then it Sets it to '1', if it is already '1' then it beeps, at the end of operation it also beeps, so,
• 1 beep Done,
•• 2 beeps Already Done,
••• 3 Beeps, No Icon Found. ( a Custom Icon is a resource 'ICN#' ID -16455 ).
