The RBXL files on macOS are blank pages instead of studio branded icons. I have on more than one occasion thrown these files away thinking they’re junk on my desktop I don’t need. I now check my Trashcan before emptying to make sure I didn’t throw a Roblox Studio creation away.
This change happened roughly two years ago, maybe more.
Expected behavior
I’d love to see some sort of Roblox Studio branding return to the icon on macOS so that these files pop on my desktop. Gone will be the days of trashing something important!
Though there is no efficient way to properly change the icon of all .rblx files sadly.
It seems that Roblox would need to push an update that changes the file icon linked to Roblox Studio supported files.
Similar to how Adobe apps contain their linked icon inside.
this seems (to me) kind of connected to your ticket and maybe it could help -
on all my machines, not only is there no icon showing for rbxl files, but when AirDropping to another macbook, the OS doesn’t know how to rename a duplicate Roblox studio file.
For example, if the downloads folder already has “ThisGame.rbxl” in it, when I airdrop that same file again, the mac doesn’t ever rename it to "ThisGame-1.rbxl or ThisGame(2).rbxl , instead it strangely appends numbers to the file extension.
" ThisGame.rbxl 2 " is what arrives in the downloads folder.
seem like file type issues I would guess but i don’t know anything about that OS stuff so my apologies if it’s not in any way related to missing file icons
