Mac Icons (for desktop folders)

[Mr Lucky]

I used to be able to make mac folder (or file) icons in Photoshop, by saving a file (e.g. .psd) selecting the file in Finder, then using CMD+I to show info.

The image would then show as the icon in the top left of the info box and could then be copied and pasted to any other folder or file info box, which would then show on the actual folder or file itself on my desktop.

With Affinity, when I save a file in whatever format, the get info box is just showing the Affinity logo in the top left.

Is there a way to do the same with Affinity? ie have the image show as the top left icon so I can copy/paste it elsewhere (and not the Affiity logo)

Thanks

Try this:

1. Open the image you want to use in Preview.app & copy it to the clipboard.

2. In Finder open the Info window for a file, click on the icon at the top & paste.

Actually, step 2 of the Jan 30 '15 answer in the Stack Exchange topic is unnecessary in current versions of Preview.app.
