This is especially the case when we upgraded to OS X 10.10 Yosemite, when Apple and many design-aware third party developers overhauled (mainly flattened) their icons. - -However, we lose all the old icons when we do a major OS upgrade. Technically they still live in Time Machine backups, but those are a pain to pull out. Therefore, I wrote a script just now to back up app icons of all applications living in `/Applications` (including those symlinked to `/Applications`, e.g., apps installed through `brew cask`) and its level-one subdirectories, and `/System/Library/CoreServices` (for `Finder.app` and such). Here's the script: - -```bash -#!/usr/bin/env bash -function app_version -{ - # $1 is the path to the app - /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "print CFBundleShortVersionString" "$1"/Contents/Info.plist 2>/dev/null || date +%Y%m%d -} - -function app_icon_path -{ - # $1 is the path to the app - filename=$(/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "print CFBundleIconFile" "$1"/Contents/Info.plist 2>/dev/null) - [[ -n ${filename} ]] || return - filename=$(basename "${filename}" .icns) - echo "$1/Contents/Resources/${filename}.icns" -} - -function process_app -{ - # $1 is the path to the app - name=$(basename "$1" .app | tr -d ' ') - path=$(realpath -e "$1") || { echo "${RED}error: broken link '${path}'${RESET}" >&2; return 1; } - version=$(app_version "${path}") - icon_path=$(app_icon_path "${path}") - [[ -n ${icon_path} ]] || { echo "${YELLOW}warning: '$1' has no app icon${RESET}"; return 1; } - [[ -f ${icon_path} ]] || { echo "${RED}error: '${icon_path}' does not exist${RESET}" >&2; return 1; } - cp "${icon_path}" "${name}-${version}.icns" - echo "${name}-${version}.icns" -} - -find /Applications -maxdepth 2 -name '*.app' | while read app; do process_app "${app}"; done -find /System/Library/CoreServices -maxdepth 1 -name '*.app' | while read app; do process_app "${app}"; done -``` - -The script is also available as a [gist](https://gist.github.com/zmwangx/fad97e085045a21ebc1d). |
