Description

Reproduction steps

  1. Fresh install of Mac OS
  2. Install and run Zed
  3. None of the file types associated with Zed show Zed icon

Current vs. Expected behavior

Current Behavior:

Image

Zed version and system specs

Zed 0.215.3
Mac OS: 26.1 (25B78)

Relevant Zed settings

While inspecting Zed’s macOS document-type declarations @ crates/zed/resources/info/DocumentTypes.plist, I noticed that
CFBundleTypeIconFile is set to "Document", but the app bundle does not include a corresponding Document.icns file @ anywhere (like crates/zed/resources).

As a result, Finder cannot display Zed's file icon for any of the listed extensions (go, ts, json, md, etc.) and falls back to generic icons or icons from other applications.
