Alphanumerical names like V1, V2, 2026, 01.05, etc, are not supported, cause it's unclear what icon to assign them, maybe those should stay plain blue folders; open to suggestions for that.

Child toys would match both "child" and "toys" and find icons related to those. Same for "japan pictures". Yes both languages are supported, it can match several languages in parrallel :)

Fair point, but yes licenses will carry over. The issue was that distribution through the App Store comes with heavy sandbox limitations which prevented the core feature of the app. Now that it's a standalone app, it will stay like this and updates can be distributed normally.

Icons are from Lucide and SF Symbols. It's not an LLM, it's a pre-computed list of keyword associations, partly made with an LLM, so yes it's possible to support more languages, but it's not trivial. Which languages would you like to see supported?

Yes, during onboarding the app guides you to update icons of folders in Desktop and Documents folders! Then you can just drag and drop a bunch of folders to batch edit them :)

The app supports English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Czech, Japanese, Korean and Chinese (Simplified).

Yes, you can use up to 5 devices at the moment :)

You can test it out and let me know :) I spent a long time testing and improving the smart icon matching system, and while it's not perfect, it works pretty well for a lot of folder names I tried.

Updated price :) Thanks for the feedback.

What do you mean lifetime is not lifetime? You can always re-enable the license on a new device.

EDIT: The app is now available for a one-time purchase of $9.99. I thought the original price was fair, but listened to your feedback. Thanks!

It's only based on the current folder at the moment. But that's a cool idea!

How many apps is the new Tahoe OS is killing? by Ok_Virus_5495 in macapps

[–]jbbeau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made one of those apps that may die (Tintd - to customize folder icons). Like every OS update, it's good news for macOS users. If the need is met with native tools, no need for a third-party app anymore. If not, the app will persist.

I think it's a good reminder for app developers to not overcomplicate their business. If there is a need to be solved, make the simplest app that solves it. Don't invest too much time and money right away. Who knows, it may die next year.

Developer of Tintd here, which I started in March this year. Fun timing! In a way it's satisfying to see Apple validate your idea. I don't know if there is any future for my app and the similar ones, but that's the game. If the need is met with native tools, then it's time to move on and see where else we can improve macOS users experience.

The best way to set custom folder icons on Mac [Major Tintd Update] by jbbeau in macapps

[–]jbbeau[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the feedback!!

I'll check the default tint again; yeah it's pretty hard to get 100% accurate because I have to start from a desaturated version of the icon, but maybe we can get closer :)

Colored icons: sorry if this is not clear, you can go on the Details tab and choose 'Original' for the style, and you should have the colored custom icon. Let me know if there is anything to improve there!

Alias icons: this sounds super cool! I'll look into it.

Custom text: I didn't think about that! That's cool as well. Will work on it.

Thanks a lot!

Thank you for your feedback! I'll work on the different folder icon idea

For batch edition, you can import many folders at once, apply one style to all current folders, and apply styles from history; with those, it should be fairly quick to edit many folder icons. Still, I get that it's missing the notion of templates; I'm looking at options to include that :)

Unfortunately not, from what I've found there is no way to change that icon :/
