Missing icon in standalone

Version 4.6.1 creating a standalone for MacOS results in an application with a missing icon even though the icns file is specified and is a valid file. Has anyone else run into this issue?

Hi interactbooks ,
You give very little information. E.g. how did you check that you are using a valid icon file and how/where did you specify this file? How did you make it?
Meanwhile, the most frequent reason for this problem is that the desktop database hasn't been updated. Open the terminal window, type "touch " (no quotes, including the space) and drag the standalone into the terminal window. Now type return. Does this solve the problem?

Mark,
Thanks for the information, I followed your direction to update the desktop database and it is still not working. I am using an ICNS file that I used previously which worked with no problem. I also tried another ICNS file, right now I just can't seem to get an icon to appear and I'm wondering if this is due to some bug in the latest version of LiveCode. I reverted back to version 4.6 and the standalone is created with the icon, so there seems to be an issue with version 4.61, seems like a bug.
Regards,
Ezra

Hi Ezra,
Yes, looks like a bug to me. Sorry, I can't confirm it because I don't use 4.6.x (I'm waiting for a version without glitches like these).
Best regards,
Mark
