    Some folder-icons missing in Finder? (OS 11.5.2)

    In my Finder some folders are suddenly displayed without the folder icon. I have not yet found a rule which ones are with folder icon and which ones still have it. If I create a new folder, it is also without folder icon. Relauching finder or the entire Mac has not solved the issue. Any Ideas?
