But .aux files have a Textures icon, and .tex files no icon (ie just a blank one). I keep getting somewhat pissed off by this (which has been with us for years), but it seems that's hopeless and will never get fixed.

Howdy,

`LaTeXiT Helper.app' (in LaTeXiT.app/Contents/Resources gives rise to a problem with using QLColorCode.qlgenerator to, at least, create decent icon (when you turn on `Show icon preview' in Show View Options for the covering folder). I've got a version of LaTeXiT.app 2.8.0 with the Info.plist in `LaTeXiT Helper.app' fixed. You can also get the proper QLColorCode.qlgenerator there too. Get them both from my download site, <https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10932738/index.html>.

The quote from the relevant email is:

Adam Maxwell solved the problem. It appears that LaTeXiT.app has a `LaTeXiT Helper.app' stored in LaTeXiT.app->Contents->Resources. The `LaTeXiT Helper.app', in turn, defines a public.tex UTI which is a no-no since only Apple is supposed to define public UTI types. By completly removing the UTImportedTypeDeclarations from the Info.plist found in LaTeXiT Helper.app->Contents and moving LaTeXiT.app to my Desktop and Back (to have LaunchServices rebuild the database QLColorCode is operational on .tex files again.

Good Luck,
