I was thinking using NSAttributedString seems like a more general purpose
solution because they sound powerful and can be used all over the place.
I've used it for HTML which seems like way overkill for this. But I haven't
successfully come up with a string that looks correct, whereas I have been
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.
Thanks

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

Great! Thanks for the info. I hoped it was something simple.
Next question though... how do I set the icon (image) for a 1st column of an
outline view and have it show text as well?
I found an example using NSBrowserCell but that doesn't seem to work in an
outline view. I can't find any other
Either make your own cell class, or use two columns for that. I’d
recommend the latter due to simplicity, but it may not give you the
look you’re going for.
Sincerely,

I must complain again. Cocoa does not have a clean well designed object
model. It seems haphazard. Someone needed a function here, but not there.
Apple doesn't go back and look at making general purpose classes and
methods.

Some of the cell classes seem very specialized. I had assumed that

implements this functionality.
Did you try
- (NSImage *)iconForFile:(NSString *)fullPath
from NSWorkSpace?

You can also have a look at Matt Gemmel's NSImage+QuickLook class,
which produces icons that match the ones the Finder gets from QuickLook:
Amazingly difficult, but I have it working almost 2 different ways. I
created my own ImageAndTextCell class and handle my own drawing based on
some code from Dave Blanton.
I've also tried the NSAttributedString since that sounded potentially
cleaner, more powerful and generally useful.
Argh.
So I

I'd disagree. I'd say that the proper way to do this is to implement
a custom NSCell subclass (a la ImageAndTextCell). This is more in
line with the framework: the cell is given an object value, which the
cell represents by drawing into a view.
