Sorry for what is assuredly a dumb question. But I never deal with icons so I'm a fish out of water here.

I just downloaded a set of custom icons I'd like to be available to use with custom perspectives in OmniFocus. How do I take the set I just downloaded and make them available in the app?

You just open the Perspectives window (Perspectives->Show Perspectives), select the perspective you want to gussy up with an icon, then drag the relevant icon file into the little well at the top of the window. Or you can click on the little disclosure triangle in the well and choose the file (or one of the built-in icon options).

Thank you

The file was downloaded as an icns folder with a bunch of icons in it. The perspectives/icon/choose method doesn't let me select the icns folder.

Any clue how I can import all the icons in that folder? I tried selecting multiple ones but it only allowed me to select one.

Can you post a link?

Here's the page of the icon set I downloaded. Would love to figure out how to get it into OmniFocus.

Finally had a chance to get back to this. I downloaded the file, unzipped it, and was able to choose icons out of the resulting folder by the means I described. Not sure why you are trying to select multiple icons or the folder — a given perspective only gets a single icon. I was able to drill down into the folder by clicking the little triangle in the icon well in the Perspectives window, then manipulating the file chooser widget in the usual way.

If you're attempting to extend the list of icons offered up in the icon chooser, it appears you can do so by adding files to the Contents:Resources:PerspectiveImages folder in the application. That probably isn't something Omni supports.
