[OS X TeX] Wish for TeXShop : attach custom icon to a given file

[Alain Schremmer]

Every once in a while, but fairly regularly, there is a thread about  
some new desired feature. I even used to keep track of these requests.  
Eventually, it seemed that most of them would be incorporated, if  
rather inconspicuously. Koch mentioned at least once that he liked  
reading about these requests.

So, maybe, indeed, "we are getting too picky", but the devil is in the  
details, not to dwell on the fact that, the way the requests were made  
didn't seem offending in the least. (Disclosure: I made one and that  
was not the first one ever.) I don't think that anyone suggested that  
TeXShop is anything less than a "wonderful platform".
