The first time i update the icon in "project > Options > Application > Load Icon..." the icon as changed as it should, now every time i change the application icon, my app keep compiling with The old icon even if i click in "project > Options > Application > Default" or try to load a new one
The icon get stuck somewhere, but where ?
There's a way to force icon with resource file or unstuck the old icon ?
I download a icon which is a multi size ico file ( one ico file, 8 sizes )
i already try :
Reboot my computer.
Change the .exe name.
Copy the .exe to another computer.
same error.
For Windows platform, the icon (and version info) is stored in resource file (.res). And by default Delphi project includes in exe all the .res files it founds in project directory (see {$R *.res} directive in your .dpr file).
So check all the .res files you have in your project directory to find out which of contains the default icon. You can use any resource editor for that.
Then, just delete that file, but please keep backup, cause .res file may contain other important information.
Had the same experience recently as well.
The "default" button does not seem to work as soon as you have selected an icon.
I got rid of the icon via the following steps:
Close your project.
In your project folder an icon will be created with the name "Projectname"_ICON.ICO.
Rename or remove this Icon.
Reopen your project,
Get to Project->Options,
An error message will be raised at every configuration in which you have used the icon, but by pressing default the message will not reappear,
Now the project is forced to use the default icon again.
Probably there is a more sophisticated manner, but I have not found it elsewhere.
This was what helped me:
You can just run the following command to clear the icon cache:
ie4uinit.exe -ClearIconCache
For Windows 10, use:
ie4uinit.exe -show

I created a multi-sized icon file for my application. Now i'm using a .rc file to link the icon to my app. Here is the contents of my .rc file :
MAINICON ICON myapp.ico
The file is compiled by RC.EXE, but no icon is added into my application; it keeps using the default Delphi's icon :
What am i missing ?
Thanks
The icon you specify in your *.rc file does indeed get included in the EXE, as you can easily verify using a resource editor. However, if you build using the IDE, so does the icon specified in the Project Options, and that one becomes the main icon of the application.
I almost would expect the Project Options dialog box to have some option not to include an icon, but I cannot find any such option. You can add or change the icon, but you cannot remove it if it is already there.
However, it seems like you can remove it yourself by editing the *.dproj file behind the back of the IDE:
Make sure the project is NOT opened in any instance of the Rad Studio IDE.
Open the *.dproj file in a text editor.
Remove the <Icon_MainIcon> line(s).
Save the file.
Now, if you open the project in the IDE and build it, the IDE will not insert any icon, so your icon specified in the *.rc file becomes the application icon.
When I created my project, I called it "Project1". Then, later I've changed it to "Project2" from the Xcode. I changed all "Project1" to "Project2", but now, when I compile my project, it looks for files in Project2/Project1/myFile.swift and I get the next error:
<unknown>:0: error: no such file or directory: '/Users/myusername/Copy/Projects/Project2/Project1/myFile.swift'
I need to make that it will look at
/Users/myusername/Copy/Projects/Project2/myFile.swift
without Project1 in the path.
How can I solve this problem? Also, I changed from Xcode Identity and Type section Location of my project.
Today I had the same problem when I renamed the folder containing the Xcode project and some parent folders of it.
In my case there where a .swift file shown with it's name in red in the list of files of Xcode (Navigator area). I think that this means that Xcode was not capable to find that file.
I selected that file (actually it's not a real file but a representation of it).
Then, in the File Inspector (Utility area), I clicked on the Folder icon and chose the file on Finder.
This worked for me.
Renaming projects in xcode in one of the most annoying things in iOS development. I assume you want to rename your app. I faced this problem once and figured out a simple, clean way to do it.
Go back to the point where everything worked.
Open project in xcode and click on the project icon in the project structure( first file)
Go to the info tab
Search for Bundle Name. Most probably it will automatically be set to $(PRODUCT_NAME) which is a shell variable that will set your app name the same as the project name.
Set it to whatever you want your app name to be
Done
Note : If you use custom URL Schemes this might produce an error when redirecting.
ALWAYS use git or some other SVN in your projects. This will come in handy in this kind of situations
Change you folder name in you finder "Project1" to "Project2"
Remove "myFile.swift" file from project (copy on Desktop)
Restart Xcode. Copy "myFile.swift" in project select "Copy file to folder" hope this will help.
My project was working perfectly fine. I then moved some files around from the project's root directory to some subfolders. Now, when I try to run the app, I receive this error message:
<unknown>:0: error: no such file or directory:
'/Users/anapaix/Desktop/currencyExchange/CommentsController.swift'
And I receive this same error for all 20 of the files that I moved around.
Additionally, the files now show up in red like this in my project:
When I double click the file, an empty Swift file shows up, like there is nothing inside. I have a feeling there should be some easy fix to this, in order for Xcode to recognize these files, but just have no idea what it would be.
You moved the files. Xcode doesn't know that. You need to tell Xcode where the files are. (Note: the other answers work too, but if you don't want to remove them and add them again, you can use this method)
Select your red file(s), open the File Inspector (Option+Command+1), and click the folder (circled in red in the below screenshot). Then find your file(s) and click Choose. The filenames should go back to being black.
If multiple red files are in the same folder, you can select multiple files in the Project Navigator (left column, Command+1), click the folder icon in the File Inspector (still the one circled in red, but the text will be different; it might say "multiple selected" or something) and click the folder containing the files. Xcode should automatically detect all of them, provided the filenames haven't changed.
Go Xcode->File->Add Files... and add missing files to the project.
when you move any file in finder from the projewct workspace then xcode doesn't recognize the new path automatically, and xcode consider it as deleted. So,Please remove this files that are in red colour in your explorer.
Then again drag the files from the finder in to your project.
This way your project found the new file path of files for the compling.
When I move iphone project directory to a new path.
There are some red texts indicate the missing files from the project source codes.
How to avoid these?
Here is how to locate the missing (red) files using the Xcode 4 interface:
Select the file or files in the left hand Project Navigator (the folder icon)
In the right sidebar click on "File Inspector" which is the leftmost icon resembling a page
In the "Identity and Type" section, there is a grey box labeled "Location".
Click on the small icon to the lower left that resembles a file browser - this will come up with a file browser to locate the file.
Voila, you are done.
Xcode 7
1.) Right click on the red (missing) file.
2.) Select "Show File Inspector"
3.) Look at the right hand side of the screen under "Identity and Type" between "Location" and "Full Path"
4.) Click on the folder icon to the right of the file name.
5.) Navigate to the file's new location in the pop-up window and select the file.
I encountered this issue when copying my project from one mac to another.
The solution for me:
assuming your files are grouped (in folder)
from xcode open the group in file inspector
The group will probably be missing the absolute path.
press the little icon nearby to pick the folder to associate the group with.
restart xcode to see the changes.
I had the same problem, when I changed the permission on the files/folders to everyone read/write they then appeared in Xcode.
This worked on a Pod project. Quit XCode.
rm -rf project.xcworkspace/xcuserdata/*
Restart XCode and reopen project.
In Finder, create a duplicate of the project directory just in case all goes squiffy.
In Finder, open the project directory that contains all the files with red references
For all the red files you see in XCode, except the info.plist file (see step 5 below), highlight them in Finder and drag them from Finder to XCode's project navigator. i.e. import them.
In XCode's "Choose options for adding these files" window: a) Select Copy items into Destination's group folder (if needed)
b) Select Create groups for any added folder
c) Select Add to Targets, and press Finish
Highlight and drag the info.plist file from Finder to Project Navigator and repeat step 4 WITHOUT selecting Add to Targets
If you had groups in Project Navigator (e.g. Supporting Files), reorder the files to be in the right places.
Delete the original bad red references in Project Navigator, and Cmd-Shift-K to clean for good measure.
Build and run on a device to remove the bad reference to the .app file
you just have to locate the missing file press in file icon in the identity and type you will find the full path just locate your file where do you move it click the file icon
When you create these files be sure to save in your app directory. Or if you import classes from other project be sure to check the copy option.
I dont know if this is the main reason but when you are importing files to the application, do you mary the "Copy items in to destination group's folder (if needed)" ?
this make sure the file is not only referenced but added to your project folder and ir will move any where you move your project.
Did you move files in to folders directly in your project folder and not in xcode?
This worked on a Pod project.
go into finder and project.
right click on your project .xcworkspace and click show package contents
right click on contents.xcworkspacedata and open with textEdit then make sure file path is correct. If project has been moved this can change
I also did this below but now sure if you need it
Quit XCode.
rm -rf project.xcworkspace/xcuserdata/*
Restart XCode and reopen project.
If you create an Xcode project, then move the .xcodeproj file or the newly created project folder to a different folder using Finder, subsequent builds may show many missing files which still reference the original folder locations (which no longer exist because you moved them). These missing files can appear as red text or as issues in the Issue Navigator.
This can happen when Xcode is configured to automatically add or remove files to/from source control (under Xcode > Preferences > Source Control). When configured this way, simply creating a project in Xcode causes new project folders and files to be marked for addition to source control. When you later move the project folder or .xcodeproj file these pending adds now point to missing files.
To resolve this issue when Subversion is the source control program, revert the pending adds for the phantom items from your local working copy folder. In my case this requires dropping into a Terminal window, navigating to the parent of the phantom project folder, then reverting the automatic add, e.g.
cd /my-working-copy-folder
svn status --depth infinity
svn status --depth infinity existing-parent-folder/phantom-project-folder/
svn revert --depth infinity existing-parent-folder/phantom-project-folder/
Note that the first svn status command will list both missing files as well as properly added, modified or deleted files which you must take care to avoid reverting. The second status command is "practice" for the final revert command, to ensure you've specified the proper path to revert.
I do not know git but I assume it offers corresponding commands.
It's too simple to do :
Close the project that includes the missed files and open the Xcode, go to "Organizer">"Projects" and remove the project from the list there. Open your project from Finder and that's it.
hope this help.
I'm trying to customize the icon that shows in Windows Explorer and in Desktop shortcuts for my Delphi application.
In the Delphi 7 IDE, I have loaded the desired icon in the Application tab of the Project Options dialog. It shows my desired icon as a graphic.
I didn't think it was necessary, but I also set my icon as the TMainForm Icon property.
However, the resulting EXE still shows the default D7 icon. What am I missing?
I found it after more hunting. I created a new project by copying an existing project from another folder. I forgot to change the program name at the top of the DPR file to match the name of the new project. Somehow, if a wrong name is used there, it prevents the icon from being changed in the generated EXE file...
When you assign an icon to an application, the icon will be embedded in a .res file named identical to the program name (the name mentioned in the first line of the .dpr file). When you change the program name in the .dpr file, delphi creates a new .res file with the new program name and looks for the icon resource in the new res file and finds none, and hence uses the default icon (or a rectangular white box). The old res file which carries the icon resource will no longer be used.
In summary, if you change the program name, you will have to re-assign the icon.
Maybe the icon cache needs to be deleted. There are many pages about this problem, this link might be useful: http://smallvoid.com/article/windows-icon-cache.html
