Q:  I want to customize the icon displayed for a directory in the Workspace File Viewer.  How can I do this?

A:  The Workspace Manager looks for a file called .dir.tiff in the directory.  It uses this in place of the usual icon when displaying that directory in the Viewer.  You may also want to place a file called .opendir.tiff in the directory.  This is used in place of the ªopen folderº icon which is displayed when you drag new files to that directory.  For best results, the tiff files should be 48 x 48 pixels square.  The .dir.tiff icon is also used by Digital Librarian to represent the directory if you use it as a target.

For fun, you can put a .dir.tiff and a .opendir.tiff file in your home directory and replace the little house with something more representative of your personality!
