Exactly.

I filed a bug with Apple: "Finder Custom Icons not displayed for some file systems"

This glitch drives me nuts too. MacZFS has the same problem but considering this is a special kext I have to say it is up to the developer not Apple. I would agree with Apple if they said use a native file system. I hope this gets resolved soon so we don't all have to complain to someone that isn't responsible or a strange work around.

Another interesting observation is that if I share ZFS over SMB, the custom folder icons work on the client (10.8.2) just fine. But on the server side, the local file system shows generic folder icon.

I'm finding that custom icons sometimes work. In a drive full of folders with custom icons, at the moment one is showing - the iPhoto library. And, it's actually flicking on and off, every couple of seconds.

Interestingly, if I do a "Get Info" the Preview icon shows correctly, but the mini one by the name doesn't, and actual one doesn't.

I also find blank icon files all over the place - might be related.

iPhoto is not a custom icon in the same sense as a icon made by us. iPhoto icons come from the system (buried in the iPhoto.app) instead of an invisible icon file in the folder. I am not sure why it is flickering though, that is very odd, probably something else to look into.

I am not getting the blank icon files in ZEVO but I did in MacZFS, I am still not sure why it marks them "nohidden" (that is the chflags command property to unhide a file or folder.)

Thinking about system supplied icons, on my home directory I'm missing the house as well, so this isn't a custom vs system icon issue.

/Users is a ZFS filesystem.

Missing from both the Finder view of /Users and from the sidebar?

Or missing only from the sidebar?

Lion or Mountain Lion?

Results please of two commands:

Code: Select all
ls -@lde /Users


Code: Select all
ls -@lde ~
