Wrong Icon

edited May 2010 in Knox
If I mount a vault using the menu in the menu bar, the icon that appears on the desktop is a generic HD icon, not the "right" Knox icon. If I close the vault and remount it immediately, it gets the right icon (in fact, the right icon also appears when unmounting), but if I wait a while the wrong icon will pop up again...

It's just a cosmetic issue, but am I the only one with it?

:?:



EDIT: in fact, I think I tried too hard to find a behavior pattern here. The icons of vaults on the desktop seem, quite simply, to behave erratically. The problem remains, anyway

    Sorry for the trouble, vegaz. Which version of OS X are you running? With Knox 2.0.1 and OS 10.6.3, I am not able to reproduce this problem.

    I haven't seen this problem myself, but it's possible that the .DS_Store file is somehow messed up on your vault. This doesn't affect the integrity of the vault but makes the displaying erratic. You can delete the .DS_Store file using Terminal:



    [code]

    rm /Volumes/NameOfYourKnoxVault/.DS_Store

    [/code]



    If it were never displaying the right icon, I would think that maybe the .VolumeIcon.icns file had gone missing but that doesn't sound like it's the case here for you. Correct me on that one if I'm wrong.

    Knox 2.0 (119) and 10.6.3. Today no problem, until now. We'll see how it goes. I also trashed the .DS_Store file and a mysterious "icon" file (with no extension, it's not the disk image icon).

    Anyway, the issue is very minor.

    All in all, I've been very surprised by Knox: a good user interface makes a lot of difference in using a standard system tool like a disk image! (clap)

    Please let us know how it goes. Some things are in OS X's hands but if we can make improvements we will. I'm glad you're finding Knox to be a useful UI tool!

    In fact, this morning the problem was back. I relaunched the Finder and the right icon popped up.

    :^)

    Strange indeed...
