- I've seen this same kind of problem with, most notably, White Knight when
- receiving a file as MacBinary. When downloading to the desktop, it seems that
- the MacBinary file gets put there, and then converted to a Mac file, but the
- MacBinary file's icon is still there (and the un-binaried file's isn't).
- Trying to do anything with that icon results in a "cannot be found" message.
- I have, however, found out that putting something (anything) in the trash can
- and emptying it causes the desktop to be updated, the old icon to be removed,
- and the correct result file icon to appear. Hope this works for you.
- King
