Description

I have a handful of special folders pinned in my Finder sidebar, but they all use the same folder icon. This makes parsing the list more difficult than it has to be. I want the ability to either use my own images or choose from a set of SF Symbols to use for different folders.

• I have ~/Screenshots/ pinned and all screenshots automatically get saved there. I’d like to set it to camera.viewfinder
• I have the RuntimeRoot directory pinned for the iOS simulator — I’d set this to gearshape.2

These are just a few examples, but this would greatly improve my navigation experience.
