Add custom icon for a particular extension eg .rar
OK, in case the title didn't make much sense, essentially what I'm asking is that I want to add a custom icon for a certain document type (namely documents with .rar extension) that doesn't already have a custom extension. I installed a free .rar expander (UnrarX) but the .rar files on my desktop have the same icon as the rar expander application and instead I want them to have an icon that matches the other compressed format icons like .zip while still having a separate application icon.
I already created this icon and using Icon Composer exported it as rar.icns and put it in the resources folder of the application. I then opened the package contents of UnrarX and opened the info.plist file. Under document types I changed the name of the rar icon file name to match rar.icns as it was previously unrar.icns (the name of the Application's icon). However this did not make .rar files use the rar.icns icon I created. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this to work?

OK I don't know what I did but it's working now!
I think after using MainMenu to Redo Prebindings, Launch Services and Whatis Database, then restarting it seemed to work? Not sure which of those if any might have helped.
