No, I have to disappoint you here. It is not simple anymore. It is generally considered to be an admin's job. I wonder why you need the short MIME descriptions. If you think this is really a priority, you can write an email to the XDG mailing list [1] trying to advocate the idea of adding short descriptions to MIME types. Having "PNG image" and "Portable Network Graphics image" could be useful, after all. If you just want a downstream solution (hint, hint this is not collaborative/social), you'll have to edit /usr/share/mime/packages/freedesktop.org.xml and run update-mime-database /usr/share/mime afterwards. The icon assignment should work by entering mkdir -p ~/.icons/gnome/48x48/mimetypes && cp <myicon_sized_48x48.png> ~/.icons/gnome/48x48/mimetypes/gnome-mime-application-ogg.png Note that in the file name identifying the MIME type "application/ogg", '/' was replaced by '-' and the image filename was prefixed with "gnome-mime-". Good luck! [1] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg -- Christian Neumair <chris gnome-de org>
