Description

image

Not sure if there were any changes in our build process or the tool we use to build the file icons, but it appears that the system file icons that used to show the language icon when set to open w/ VS Code is no longer working. Either it will show the default VS Code logo or nothing at all.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look into how VS Code builds its file icons for macOS, specifically the mechanism for associating language icons with file types.
