Change file type icons (mime types)

Hey there
Ever wished that ubuntu will show you icons for file types as you want?

I found the proper way, just for you

first of all, we need to install assogiate.

Code:


sudo apt-get install assogiate


Now, before changing any settings, we need to know exactly the file type's identity by which gnome detects it.
So, lets create a file first.
Lets assume, we are going to change the icon of a *.class file.
make amit.class file, and then right click on it. go to properties.

you will see something like this:



Note the application identity. it is /application/x-java, right?

Now go to Applications>System tools> File types Editor

and on the search tab, type x-java, and you will find the needed file type



there might be two x-java, one is an application type, the other is a text/source type. but we already know it is the application type, because of that /application/x-java part

Now, double click on it. there, click on the browse button for default icon, and set an image there. Png is suggested



And you are done!!

good job..
