Resource forks on Snow Leopard

Resource forks on Snow Leopard: "
Does Snow Leopard not make resource forks when one changes an icon for a file or folder? Tiger used to, and if you viewed hidden files, you would see those, but doing that on Snow Leopard does not show any additional files in the directory.


When images are saved, the icons are shown as little thumbnail pictures of the original if one views them with icon view. Are these thumbnails resource forks or not? If I saved pictures with a Snow Leopard image editor, the thumbnails appear in list view as well, but not otherwise. How does that work?
