I'm using Linux Mint 17.2 MATE
I have a problem assigning an icon for custom (newly created) file type.
My task:
To set new double-click action and new icon for *.session files.
My sequence of operations:
No errors have been displayed during these steps.
Finally I've rebooted OS.
My files (used in the above steps):
text-x-session.png
48x48 PNG image file
scite_session.xml
scite_session.desktop
My results:
Everything seems to be OK except icons.
I see proper type "text/x-session" in "properties" page of any *.session file
Double-clicking on any *.session file invokes proper action according to "scite_session.desktop"
But the icon used by caja for *.session files is still the same instead of my new icon.
My question:
How to set new icon for mimetype in Linux Mint?
I've noticed that xdg-icon-resource created a copy of my .png in ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/mimetypes
Probably, I should copy it manually somewhere else?
