Integrating Appimages

It must be that the system is unable to find the freecad icon...

Thank you!!
cat /usr/share/mime/packages/freecad.xml returns:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<mime-info xmlns='http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info'>
	<mime-type type="application/x-extension-fcstd">

		<comment>FreeCAD document files</comment>
		<glob pattern="*.fcstd"/>
		<icon name ="freecad"/>
	</mime-type>
</mime-info>

ls /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/fre* returns:

Code: Select all

ls: cannot access '/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/fre*': No such file or directory

so, I looked into the directory manually and there it is:
scalable_freecad_link.svg

whereas yours was:
scalable_freecad.svg
so I copied yours into this directory.
Tried again... no difference, same message:

Code: Select all

ls: cannot access '/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/fre*': No such file or directory

so I tried (subtle difference):
ls /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/*free* and the return was:

Code: Select all

/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/org.freedesktop.fwupd.svg  
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/scalable_freecad.svg
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/scalable_freecad_link.svg

So, I think, in the end all is as it should be?


LATER EDIT:
Just to explain (better) what I am talking about,
please note the difference between icons(or thumbs?) for all the other apps appearing in files and the way that FreeCAD files appear.

rename to freecad.svg per his instructions:

Now we want to associate the freecad icon with the file, so copy the icon:

Code: Select all

 sudo cp scalablefreecad.svg /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/freecad.svg 

and update the icon database:

Code: Select all

 sudo update-icon-caches /usr/share/icons/*

You are my hero
It has worked perfectly

I knew it was something dumb I have done

The only (exceedingly minor) issue left is that in multitasking view, my Linux PC still doesn't know it is FreeCAD:
Firefox icon is fine, but FreeCAD is dumb
