I have a project where a couple of files are in red, In XCode 3 I used to click the file Get Info and change the Path, but I have no idea how to do it in the new XCode 4.
Click on your file, and then open the right side pane (there is a button in the top right corner). There you will see Identity and Type. Under the location drop down there is a small icon of I'm not sure what. If you click it, it lets you choose a file. I think that is what you want.
My method of choice is to just drag in the files from the new location and delete the references to the ones in the old location.

I have created my AppleScript, tested it, saved it as an .app and it works.
Now, how do I set a custom icon for it?
I have done a bit of googling and tried a few different things but cannot get it to work. The app is mainly for me and maybe some people I know to make workflows easier so having a nice little icon makes a huge difference.
Can anyone help with this please?
Basically you need an .icns icon file.
Open your application with right-click > Show Package Contents
Navigate to Contents > Resources
Delete applet.icns
Drag the custom icon file into the Resources folder
Rename the icon file in Resources to applet.icns
To update the icon appearance open and re-save the applet in Script Editor.
This is how I do it:
In Finder, select your icon file.
Get Info (CMD-I) on the file.
Click the icon in the top left corner of the Get Info window.
Copy it via CMD-C.
Now Get Info on your AppleScript file.
Click the icon in the top left corner of the Get Info window.
Paste the icon using CMD-V.
The AppleScript icon should be replaced by the icon copied from the icon file.
A screen recording demonstrating this process can be viewed at this answer from AskDifferent.
Just building into #pipwerks answers: You can also use Drag&Drop!
(Optional) Create your icon online from any image on https://iconverticons.com/online/ and download de .icns file for your icon.
Get Info (CMD-I) on you AppleScript file.
Now Drag&Drop your .icns file into the small icon in the top left corner.
It works and now it's ready to add it to the dock or wherever you want.
On newer systems if the above methods do not work there is another solution.
In Script Editor, after opening our script (.app), choose View -> Show Bundle Contents from the menu (or press cmd +0).
In the panel that will expand on the right (Bundle Info) in the Resources section, right-click the applet.icns file and select delete from the drop-down menu.
Our new icon file with the same name applet.icns drag and drop into the window Resources where you just deleted it.
Save application and voila :-D
Here's another way on newer systems, I'm using macOS 12.1.
Open the new icon image file in Preview and choose File > Export...
Hold down the Option key while selecting "Format" and see a whole bunch of new choices including ICNS.
Save it, drop it in your Resources folder, and you're good to go.
For some reason the side bar on Sublime Text 3 is just displaying the folder named Template. The strange thing is that this folder is already deleted and regardless of that, the folder Template should not be displayed when I open Sublime in for example my Dropbox folder. No matter where in Ubuntu I open Sublime (from command line or Dash) it will open with that folder named Template in the sidebar. Template will have the arrow next to it indicating I can expand its contents or hide them. When I press it I see the arrow go from the right to to down position no folder contents show, nothing happens.
Also nothing happens when I go Project > Refresh Folders.
This problem happened around the time I was trying to add a new server using SFTP. Not certain if that had anything to do with it.
Any ideas whats happening here?
If it is a top level folder, you need to edit the project itself. You may right click on the folder in the side bar, and select "Remove from Project". Alternatively, you can edit the file itself by going to Project -> Edit Project. The top level folders are defined as a list of objects. Remove the entry you want from there, and it will no longer appear in the sidebar. You can write a plugin to clean up a project for you if you find yourself removing items frequently.
I think this should be a relatively easy one to answer, I hope, but is proving to be a bit of a stress!
I have used an Icon on an old application developed some years ago and I would now like to use the icon for a current project.. however..
I added the icon using the upload/import icon-image in the properties window, and did not add it in the project resources file, nor specify its location anywhere in my code, using only the icon tool in the properties window.
Now wanting to find the icon image file to use again, I cannot find it anywhere! I have trawled through all the project files looking for the image file or a ref to its location, but have found nothing; except for:
this.Icon = ((System.Drawing.Icon)(resources.GetObject("$this.Icon")));
When running the application the icon is still clearly visible in the applications taskbar tile.
Does anyone know where the icon file is stored / how I can retrieve it?
Thank you in advance.
It is stored in "{Your_project_name}.{Form_name}.resources" file. Search inside the "obj" folder which is in your project folder.
Now open the command prompt of Visual Studio. We will convert this ".resources" file into a ".resx" file. We use "resgen" command here.
resgen foo.resources bar.resx
The .resx can then be added to a C# project. You can find your icon file there.
I'm teaching myself iOS programming and am trying to add a Settings Bundle Resource to my Hello World app, following instructions in the iOS Application Programming Guide. The Settings.bundle object is created in my project (with the disclosure triangle) but there are no files inside.
I expected a Root.plist and en.lproj/Root.strings
Am I missing something in my Xcode4 installation or Xcode setup?
Thanks!
If you click on it with the mouse, and choose "Show in Finder", and in Finder click on it and choose "Show Package Contents", you'll see that it's a directory.

Click on the Settings.bundle file in the left window; from main menu choose View -> Utilities -> Show FileInspector. Then change fileType to "applicationBundle" -- the two missing files will show under Settings.bundle.

(FileInspector is the right column (to the right from the central view(s)), the tab with an icon showing a page with a paper-clip in the corner)
Just for completeness, this was fixed in a newer version of Xcode. I'll remember to include versions numbers next time.
Seriously, in previous versions of XCode I could right-click a file or group in XCode and I would get the "rename" option. In XCode 4 I can't seem to rename my files in XCode directly anymore. What happened? Why would Apple remove such a feature? How can I rename my nibs, image resources, and others in XCode now?
Note that if you're renaming a class, the best way I've found to do this is to open the class header, select the name of the class then control-click and choose Refactor / Rename. That way Xcode will rename the .h and .m files and replace instances of your class name (almost) everywhere it appears, including XIB files. Nifty!
Edit: in Xcode 4.2, watch out for this gotcha: "When initiating a refactoring rename operation from the declaration of a property, any Interface Builder files that refer to that property will not be updated correctly. Instead, perform the rename operation on a usage of the property, or an associated #synthesize statement."
The contextual menu item was removed, but you can still rename from within. Select the file and then click again in the name and you should get the editor field. Type away to rename. It can be a little temperamental though. The biggest problem I usually have is doing the 2nd click too quickly and it being registered as a double click. So you might need to play around with your timing a little bit to get used to it.
If you want the CM item back, make sure to file a bug report on it.
Select the file in the navigation window and press Enter.
Just the way renaming in Finder.
In case you want to change the path in case you moved some files...
Step 1: View -> Utilities -> File Inspector to open the file inspector
Step 2: Under Identity -> Path there is a white icon to change the relative path of the file
Furthermore, to rename the file, just refactor as stated above ;)
another way you can do it, is by using the little rectangle with an arrow in it which is at the bottom of the bar. Click on it, your items will be displayed in a list like view, you can rename it there the way you would rename files or whatever... Hope that helps
If you want to rename non-class files like png files just select file and choose 'Show File Inspector' from right click, then change file name from 'name' textfield (identify and type label).
I you want change class name, I recommend 'Simon Whitaker' Refactor method (second comment).
