O... K... now my iTunes song files have taken on their associated pics as icons.
Bummer. I actually quite like the iTunes icons, both the green and the blue; they look tidy in lists.

Does anyone know whether or not this is another Leo quirk, or has yet another thing gone wrong with my system? :?

Hey Nicky! Open the folder, hit Command-J, then deselect the checkbox for "Show Icon Preview" and you should have the generic icons back once more.

Kind regards.

Wow Dave! You're a genius! :shock:

Thank you ever so much.


I've not adjusted that parameter before, so something must have changed from Tiger to Leo.
Ripper. :D

I'm no genius, Nicky, just a nosey bugger ("What happens if I click this?")

This checkbox doesn't exist prior to Leopard. I think it may be part of the whole QuickLook thing.

Kind regards.

Yeah, I figured some folks (Apple? LOL) would want to flick through the files in that new-fangled front row seat thingy. :D

Your nosey buggeriness has resulted in a first-class spin-off cure for my woes, Dave, so don't feel bad.
Keep up the sniffin' good work, eh? :lol:
