Cannot remove Dropbox’s green checkmark icons in Finder
tshu-w opened this issue · comments
This command cannot remove Dropbox’s green checkmark icons in finder now. Does anybody have other ideas?
macOS 10.15
Dropbox 83.4.152
I'm on macOS 10.14 where it all looks good. Have you made sure the path is correct and the file is there? e.g.
# Change directory to the path, if this doesn't exist maybe you have Dropbox installed somewhere else
cd /Applications/Dropbox.app/Contents/Resources
# If the path does exist and so does the file, as a quick solution you could remove the file manually for now
ls -la | grep 'emb'
I'm looking to upgrade to 10.15 soon, but first I need to clean up my dotfiles, when I do I'll come back if still an issue :)
@s10wen yes, the file seems renamed correctly, here is the result of ls -la | grep 'emb'

however, the green checkmark icons are still there even after I restarting Finder, Dropbox and my Mac.
Investigated some more and found some other files that looked similar:
overlay-uptodate.icns
up-to-date-v2.png
up-to-date-v2@2x.png
viewer-synced.png
viewer-synced@2x.png
I deleted all of those and tried to relaunch / kill finder but they were still showing. However!!! With a system reboot they now appear to be gone.
Please can you try as well? If this works for you as well, then it will be a case of finding out the correct one and updating the command to delete the correct one, or we could just update to delete them all :)
🤞🏻
I remove all of the files you list, relaunch Finder, restart the system, reinstall dropbox fully and remove these files before opening it, however, it doesn't work for me (;
Argh, just checked and mine have come back again!!! 🤷🏻♂️
However, remove these files does impact some appearance, like the Up to date status at the left bottom when you click the Dropbox icon in the menu bar. So I don't know why it cannot work. (:з」∠)
