Description

Ordinary folders in the Mac OS X Finder are always displayed with the same boring old blue folder icon.

Sometimes you might want to liven this up. Perhaps you browse a music collection through the Finder as well as in iTunes, or have photos that you browse in the Finder as well as in iPhoto. You might create artwork, or own a collection of home movie DVD files. Whatever things you have, one thing is for sure — the standard blue folder icon doesn't give you many clues about the folder's contents.

This is where Add Folder Icons comes in. It uses any pictures found inside a given folder to create a customised icon based on a configurable icon style. There is a set of built-in icon styles and you can create your own.

What’s New

Version 3.0.5

• Fixes a bug that prevented the application working properly on OS X 10.9 or earlier
• Adds an extra Help page providing a guide to setting up Folder Actions for automated icon addition

Works as advertised

It does what it says, and you can't complain about that. I give 4 stars because it could use some more advanced options, and sometimes it doesn't seem to lay out the icons very well. For example, when I make a custom set with only 1 picture that isn't cropped square the picture ends up being kind of tiny in the middle of the folder. With only 1 icon it should try to fit the dimensions of the folder better. Great app other than that, and some updates could possibly make this a stellar little gem.

Not made for large folders

I was excited to try this out since I have many folders, but I keep getting a failure notice. I was told I might have too many folders. That defeats the purpose of using this. It is because I have so many folders and files I want to use this. It does however work on folders with very few files inside. I tested that with a folder on my desktop containing three PNG images. This just won’t work for me.

Works perfect for me

Always works perfectly. Never crashed. I tried add folder icons to 75 large folders. Works flawlessly. Unlike situation in other review.
