I keep my Finder.Icons file trimmed down to a bare minimum (device icons, a few generic file icons, and that's it). All new icons go into a different file, so there's no chance of messing up my basic icons. What "rules" does the Finder follow when determining what icon to use? I assume a specific filename has primary consideration, but if a wildcard icon comes before a named icon of the same filetype/auxtype, then the wildcard takes precedence. Same goes for icons with a specific file/auxtype vs. those with the generic $00/$0000 types. Does someone have a definite answer?
