An application I used (MacCaml) changed the icon of all files with .ml
or .oml
extension. I would want them to recover their original icon (a blank document). Here is what I have tried (with each time : Finder relaunching, rebooting, creating a new .ml
file and opening it with different applications to see if its icon would change) :
- Setting “Always open with another application” (such as TextEdit).
- Going into the application bundle, removing the corresponding
.icns
file which gives the unwanted icon to all.ml
files, replacing it by another.icns
file. - Deleting the application.
- Resetting Finder preferences.
- Trying to change the icon of one of these files (the usual way using Information window).
- Deleting all
.DS_Store
files.
Nothing worked. Have you got any suggestion ? I think a possible solution would be also to know the answer to the following question :
How to find where the icon associated to a given file is stored ?
For I removed that unwanted .icns
file from my computer, though there visibly exists one remaining copy of it which is being used by the Operating System. But using find
and fdupes
I wasn't able to find any duplicate of that file…
