Hello,Is there a way to obtain the icon that finder uses to display for a file system object? Such things as the folder icon for folders, PDF icon for
pdfs etc.


You can use -[NSWorkspace iconForFile:] if you want to get a specific file's icon, respecting any custom icons.

Use -[NSWorkspace iconForFileType:] if you want to get the icon for a type. The type can be a filename extension or an HFS type code encoded via NSFileTypeForHFSTypeCode(). On Leopard or later it can also be a UTI.
