You can apply new image to the file when you get notification that file is in sync with server . Your extension is responsible for updating the images based on the state. – Sheen Vempeny Oct 28 '15 at 11:00

It's simple, First establish an Inter Process communication between your app and your extension. In an IPC, your app acts as a client and extension act as a server. Now you know the state of a specific file, so just send the file path and status to the extension through IPC, Once extension receives the path and status, then call the Finder Sync controller’s setBadgeIdentifier:forURL: method to set the appropriate badge.

Even though I have an IPC between FinderSync and the MainApp, I'm still facing the issue where Finder doesn't show sync icon in Finder column view. Copy-file circle-progress animation seems to affect it. Just blank white space is shown, regardless of how many times I call the `setBadgeIdentifier` method. – mixtly87 Sep 26 '18 at 19:35
