Mavericks Custom Icon issue? Sun Oct 20, 2013 1:15 am • by DaMacGuy
Running Mavericks GM - It doesn't appear that the Custom Icon condition works under Mavericks. I have a condition that looks for when a custom icon is set to know when files can by synced with a Dropbox folder. But the rule preview shows no matches, and the metadata for files in the preview doesn't show a custom icon field.

:cry:

Probably an issue with Mavericks and Spotlight. Unfortunately, I think this is outside of Hazel's control. Have you tried using 'mdls' on the files to dump the metadata?

Hadn't thought o check with mils. This is what I get regarding custom icon...

Code: Select all
kMDItemFSHasCustomIcon         = (null)

You can try looking for a commandline program which checks this and use it in a Hazel condition. Either that, or get Apple to fix their Spotlight importer (probably not likely but can't hurt to ask them).
