	How do I change a folder icon from a script? by Perl Whore :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message In nautilus, I can go into properties and change the icon of a folder to a custom one. Can the same be done from the commandline or is it possible with DBus? If so, how? I want to use it in a script. Also how do I check if it has an icon set already?

	Re: How do I change a folder icon from a script? by Perl Whore :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Thanks for the info. Any other way of doing it? I have gnome 2.26.3 and my gvfs version is 1.2.3. I was hoping to be able to do this without having to compile anything from source. I'm using Fedora 11.
