I am new to a Mac. In windows all my folders showed the preview of the kit. In my Mac I can't get that to happen. But I recently noticed that when I unzip files from Simple Pleasures Designs the folder image is already there. Anyone know how to do that? TIA

In Mac click on the folder and select folder info. Than copy the preview image and than click on the blue folder icon and than paste the image. For me this site is in dutch but maybe for you it appears in English

I do this with all my previews, so I can see what they look like in Finder :) Super quick way to manage your stash!

You can also use a program called Image2Icon. This is what I use on my MAC.

Would you know why some previews/folder images can't be copied? Is that something in how the image is created. Some kits the preview/folder image does not have a copy image option. Just curious if you knew.

I don't know mostly when that happens to me I open the image in pre-view and than press-command-A and than command-C in that way it selects the image first before copying
