Batch build custom Finder icons for images.

[michaelsanford]

Ok I have about 5000 JPEGs on my hard disk, almost all of them have generic icons.

I'm sick and tired of waiting forever for Finder to create previews just to have the preview cache erased when I reboot.

I'm looking for a utility that will take all the files in my ~/Images/ folder and create a custom icon for it.

Suggestions?

PS I searched but didn't find anything on the forum, which kind of surprises me...so I'm half expecting someone to post a link to another thread.

Pic2Icon is the app you are searching for. Check www.versiontracker.com

Photoshop does it as well , but unfortunally the icon creation is just a "side effect" and not available for batch processing.

Hehe yeah I know PS will do it, but I'm not going to open all 5000 pics and re-save them individually

Thanks I'll check it out.
