Is there a way to permanently switch the generic
icon that is created, when a file with no resource
fork is copied to a netatalk folder?
The attached method is ok for folders, since there are
relatively few of them (though it would be nice to
have a global way of changing them, too.) But it would
be great to be able to set the generic file icon,
so that files copied to the netatalk volume will take
on that icon.
