For what purpose do you need this? If you only need a small number of animation steps, you could just set up a different filename suffix for each step, specify a different icon (all in your Info.plist) and then rename the file whenever you need the next step. Would that work in your case? In the old days, one could use Icon Services calls to change the icon used for a particular file type, that might even save you the renaming, but Icon Services is probably considered "old" API these days, and I'm not sure if changes to icons in your app using Icon Services will still affect Finder. Anyway, it's worth a try. Finally, you could use a custom icon (the kind you get when you click on the icon in a file's "Get Info" window in Finder and paste a graphic there). But of course, if there is any chance that your files already have a custom icon because the user set one on it, your code would replace that icon, which isn't nice. But for a newly-downloaded file, you could probably do that. I think there might be a setIcon:forFile: (or something like that) method in NSFileManager or NSWorkspace for setting a custom icon on a file.
