@amarv91, can you see the icon from the zipped skp I posted?

@jeff, cheers

@steve. that is odd, it's certainly not a windows generated skp...

what does

xattr -l <path_to_file>

show for that file...

I'll see if I can find how I fixed it when I used Parallels, I did have that issue at some stage.

yeah, weird indeed. (I don't know why it's doing that nor have I seen the behavior before)

do they show if you adjust icon size?

@unknownuser said:

Icon size: Use this slider to dynamically adjust the size of the icons in this folder. The larger the icon, the easier it is to see the thumbnail previews. Of course the larger they are, the more room they take up.

and, did you reset Finder?

Yes using slider shows the icon, but only if it is above 128px X 128px.

I tried resetting the finder. (i.e relaunching the finder)

And ya please share the plugin which u have...

Thanks

I wanted to see if there was an update on the Icon status for Mac’s
Many of my older files created with Sketchup 8 Pro have a custom icons.
Once opened in Sketchup 2015 Pro and saved as 2015 or Sketchup 8 they only have generic icons.
Is there a plugin or secondary solution?
Thanks in advance.

do you mean generic like the problem in the original post or generic like this:

?

one is a problem and one is just trimble not providing the proper programming

fwiw, i recently had a similar problem as the original post only with my webloc icons.. 'fixed' it like so:

go to
~/Library and drag the Caches folder to the desktop (just in case.. move it to the trash eventually)
reboot computer

go to
Macintosh HD/Library and drag the Caches folder to the desktop.
reboot computer

after that, the webloc icons showed their stuff again instead of the blank white.

I'm having the same trouble with the icons showing only a blank page. I just updated my system to Yosemite, and have regretted every second of it due to all the programing issues it seems to have with every program I use. I upgraded mainly because I use Podium and the newest version of Podium Walker only functioned for Yosemite.

I'm very illiterate when it comes to programing jargon. What ended up being the fix for this?
