Images for Mac Users

Well and this is a Mac specific thread so if you're a Windows user, you may want to start a new thread so other Windows users can help you out. They most likely won't see your question in here.
 
Oh wait, I think I understand what you meant! So if the preview image is called "folder.jpg", it will automatically show up as the image on the little folder graphic? I actually never knew that and it has always frustrated me when the preview of a kit was called folder instead of something with the designer and kit name!! I believe that what you're talking about is how my folders displayed in an older version of Windows and I had all of my kits set up so the preview image showed up on the folder graphic. But when we had a computer crash and I moved everything to a new computer with a newer version of Windows, all I can see is just generic yellow folders with a teeny peek at documents inside.

I think I may have made the process a bit quicker by following the suggestion above to have a folder of just kit previews, which is a great idea for finding a kit quickly. At least when I browse to find the icon file, it will immediately take me to the same folder (versus searching for the particular kit folder) and I can just choose the icon.

Sorry for the long reply - I truly appreciate your help!!

Okay, Lynnette, sorry about that! The original link provided above was about Windows so I thought it was okay to talk about both. This post has been tremendously helpful and I appreciate your help!

Yep, it should automatically turn the thumbnail icon into the image labeled folder. That doesn't work for Mac users, hence this thread about previews for Macs. It's been awhile since I've used Windows so if you have other questions, you probably should ask those in a new thread so the right people see them. Most of us in this thread have no idea. :D
 
thanks!!

I really appreciate you sharing this. I tried the short cut method and couldn't get it to work. This was so incredibly easy, I am about half way done putting images on my folders. I can't tell you how happy this makes me. I have so many files, I completely forget what I have This is going to be such a huge timesaver for me.
 
Hey Brook, here is a thread you'll want to read. I'm still using img2icns app for the Mac. There might be better solutions these days, but I like this.
 
I don't use what the blog suggested. what I do is double click on the kit preview, then command + a and then command + c. Then I will go to the folder of that kit and right click it then go to "get info, once the kit info opens, I will click on the small folder icon at the very top, and then click command + v.
