Custom Directory Icon Swift

Question

I have the code:

do {
    try manager.createDirectory(atPath: appDir!.appendingPathComponent(path).path, withIntermediateDirectories: true, attributes: nil)
} catch {
    print("Error: \(error)")
}

How do I add a custom icon to the directory (like Dropbox, Creative Cloud, etc.)? Do I add it as an attribute?

Got it!

NSWorkspace.shared().setIcon(#imageLiteral(resourceName: "customFolder"), forFile: appDir!.appendingPathComponent("/Files").path, options: NSWorkspaceIconCreationOptions.excludeQuickDrawElementsIconCreationOption)

Use that.

Does it changes the app icon or the directory icon? – Leo Dabus Aug 29 '17 at 02:43
