Sparkle dialog in iPhoto plugin shows only generic icon

Asked by slandvogt

I try to use Sparkle in an iPhoto export plugin. When the sparkle dialog actually comes up after the modal dialog ended, the dialog itself does not show the correct icon on the upper left. Only a small generic app icon is shown.

Is there a way to specify that icon, or can I convince Sparkle to e.g. use the application icon?

PS: Its a pity that I cannot provide a screenshot here to clearify what I mean...

Oh, good question. Sparkle will use the icon of the bundle that's hosting it. That means *your* bundle. So set a CFBundleIcon value in your Info.plist.

Adding the following to Info.plist solved the problem:

 <key>CFBundleIconFile</key>
 <string>bundle_icon</string>

Also the Resources folder has to contain a file named bundle_icon.icns
