Changing Default file type Icons...

IndyGunFreak · 12-18-2006, 06:30 AM

I know this is gonna be easy, and I think I've done it before, but I've either forgotten how and/or am just missing it..

I want to change, for example, all of my MP3's to a different Icon that I've downloaded. I could do it one at a time, but with a little over 2gigs worth of MP3's, that would take a while.

Ubuntu 6.10

Thanks

I could swear that in Dapper, right clicking any file, selecting properties and clicking the icon -- you changed the icon for all files of that mime type. That seems to have changed in Edgy to that file only. Am I confused? Sure would like to know how to globally change icons for a mime type.

Thats what I thought to, but when I done it under Edgy, it only changed that one icon.

Thanks for confirming my memory isn't departing me. I can see a reason to want a special icon for a particular file but miss being able to define the default icon. Obviously there's a way or we wouldn't be able to use icon themes. Question on hand is how to make global changes to the default icons.
