I was used to using Image Capture to import photos from my camera, and had set an option for it to create icons for the photo files from the images themselves, on the fly. BUT then I upgraded to Snow Leopard, and Apple'd seemingly removed this option, and I'm not finding what i need; I have used File Buddy for years, which has this ability [after the imports of course], but it's not long for this world, since FB is no long supported – a major pity: such a wonderful tool gone. Suggestions?

in regard to Pweller.. i think you have too turn off the 'preview' option first (in get info) in snow leopard if your getting those ugly monotone things with letters like 'png' or 'bat' yadda yadda.. otherwise it wont show your new pasted icon

Brilliant ! Took two nights of searching to find your simple explanation.. This should be the first result in google..

I've tried all of these and it still doesn't work. Why can't we just cut and paste anymore? My iMovie file is using a random image from iPhoto (which is not in the movie) as the preview image. huh?
