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

You'd possibly have to change the directories where you place a copy of the icon, but it looks like a good start.
Thanks, i already tried it this way.

I have tested with empty files => no icon.
By chance I renamed a file with text => success!!!!
When I remove the text, the icon will disappear again.
