Sync folder icons with Dropbox (Mac osx)
As you know, with Dropbox all is in Sync between computers, but there is something that doesn’t sync: Custom Folder Icons. To solve this I wrote this to automator actions (services). With this you can select a bunch of folders (with custom icons) and launch the menu option Dropbox - Backup folder Icons from the Services menu in Finder. Then when Dropbox sync, in the other computer you whant to recover this icons, just launch the other service: Dropbox - Recover folder Icons.
