Why do some of the third-party actions have a Dreamweaver icon instead of the familiar Action Forge gears, and does that matter?

Why do some of the third-party actions have a Dreamweaver icon instead of the familiar Action Forge gears, and does that matter?
No - it doesn’t matter but you can change this if you want.
Not sure about Lion but in Snow and earlier select your action in the Finder - Right Click and Get Info - you will see the Dreamweaver or generic icon top left.
If you do the same to a FW action that has the gear Get Info and then click on the Gear icon (top left) and Cmd-C to copy it.
Now go to your action with the wrong icon and select what is there (icon) and Paste in the FW gear.
While you are in the info panel you could also go down to the Open With Application Picker and choose your version of FW from the dropdown list

This is the only thing you need to do, the icon will follow automatically. You don’t need to copy and paste the icon to get it to set, you just have to update the file-type association database and tell Mac OS that .fwaction files “belong” to Freeway.

Yes - but If you do that then you get the very scary message - do you want to change all files like this?
I am always hesitant that there will be a file that I don’t want to affect.

fwaction and fwactionb are registered file-type extensions, owned by Freeway. The odds that another application needs access to them are vanishingly small. Besides, it’s in your best interests to keep this association database up to date – this is how double-clicking anything in Finder gets you what you expect.
