I've set up a personalized script, so that the invisible file "
.VolumeIcon.icns" should be ignored on the
original drive while running "Backup - all files" in Smart Update mode. This works and the target volume does not receive this icon
However, in the same script I have defined also that the icon for the
target drive "
Volumes / BKUP Macintosh HD / .VolumeIcon.icns" should also be ignored. Yet it gets deleted on the target volume when I do a smart backup
I had selected the icon for the
original drive "
.VolumeIcon.icns" from the first column in the little browser underneath the "Script Commands" pane.
The icon for the
target drive "
Volumes / BKUP Macintosh HD / .VolumeIcon.icns" I had selected by first clicking on "Volumes" (left column) which then revealed all mounted drives in a second column. There I selected my target drive, which opened a third column where I finally selected the icon file for the target drive.
So the pane of the scripts commands said:
ignore .VolumeIcon.icns
ignore Volumes/BKUP Macintosh HD/.VolumeIcon.icns
Question: why is the icon on my target volume being deleted and how can I stop this?
Sincerely, Martin.
