From: Merciadri Luca on 8 May 2010 10:20 Hi, When copying and pasting a .ps or a .pdf file, or a serie of such files, the resulting (i.e. pasted) files' icon is often the `snippets' one, i.e. the one which designates a broken/corrupted file. However, when right-clicking on the files, their content appears as the icon, i.e. the `snippets' icon disappears. Why? Is it normal? I do not like copying and pasting files and seeing such an icon, because one might think that these are corrupted files.

It maybe an icon cache problem. Have you tried by refreshing the folder where the broken icon files are? Press "F5" and check if they return to their normal status.

Yes, that sometimes does the trick, and sometimes not.
