Adding badges to file icons in Finder
finder, icons, objective-c, overlay
Solution
How about diving into the sources of SCPlugin. I believe they are doing something that works. The code is here http://scplugin.tigris.org/svn/scplugin/trunk, login with "guest" and no password. I won't say it's easy...

Problem
I'm working on a small project at home that would add a badge (aka icon overlay) to a specific file based on its state. Anyway, I've Googled the hell out of it and the only documentation I was able to find was on Apple's developers site (Obtaining and Using Icons With Icon Services). The documentation expects the developer to be familiar with Objective-C file APIs, which I'm not. So, I'm wondering if someone can please give me some code examples for adding badges to a file and directory. Thanks in advance!!
