Many applications are going away from any kinds of resources
You might need to use a different mechanism to get the icon
MacOSLib has this implemented in its MacIcon classes which can grab the icon for a given folderItem

Hello,

I got this example from the LR but when I run it I am getting this message - "Resource not found!".


'This example gets the desktop application icon for Photoshop® and displays it in a Canvas control.
 #if TargetMacOS then
   Dim rf as ResourceFork
   Dim f as FolderItem
   Dim p as Picture
'f= GetFolderItem("Photoshop") I don't have Photoshop, but I have Safari
   f= GetFolderItem("Safari")
   If f <> Nil then
     rf=f.OpenResourceFork
     If rf <> Nil then
       p=rf.Geticl(128)
       Canvas1.backdrop=p
     Else
       MsgBox "Resource not found!"
     End if
   Else
     MsgBox "File not found!"
   End if

 #Else
msgbox "Sorry, but access to the resourcefork is supported only on Macintosh"
 #endif

How can I fix that?

Thanks.

Lennox
