File Types and icons associated with them:

Post by Kester »

Hi,

I've recently become interested in icon themes with a view to creating one of my own. One particular thing I've noticed is how, in the various icon themes I've investigated, the sets contain many shortcuts to other shortcuts and so on until eventually one arrives at what I refer to as a base icon. I was intrigued by this particularly in relation to a particular file type '*.asf'.

ASF files are video files but the icon associated with them is the one used for text files. I have video files associated with 'Celluloid' which plays asf with no problem. So my question is, can I change the default icon for asf files without affecting the association of the current icon with genuine text files?

Cheers.
