Hoe to get the application icon for a specific extension

(1/3) > >>

havezet:
I need to extract the os icon for a specific file extension, for instance the icon of the Preview.app for a JPG (as is registered on a default osx installation). I need this icon in a TBitmap.

Does anyone know where to get started?

Thank you

Phil:
jpeg.icns and many others are in /Applications/Preview.app/Contents/Resources.

These icon files are associated with Preview via its Info.plist file.

Thanks.

Thank you Phil, so where I should find the icon. But how would I know in which app folder I should check? Is there a way to query the OS for the application(s) that are associated with an extension? Or should I query every .app folder for the plist file individually to check if it is associated with a specific extension (hope not).

Thanks

Phil:
I'm afraid I don't understand what you're trying to do. Or why.

Thanks.
