Changing all Icons for 1 file type?

[sandman3838]

Hello

This is probably silly question to what I hope is an easy answer?

Depending on the icon theme, each have certain icon assigned to files each file types that I like or dislike. Now I know how to change Icon Themes through Desktop Background and how to change an Icon for an individual file or folder. That's Ok no issue there!

However lets say that I would like to change Icon for “all” my .TXT files or .GZ files to another Icon! Is this possibly and is there a program I could add in to Ubuntu 910 or is it already in here somewhere and I'm just not seeing it?

Suggestions?

Thank you all for your time and help.

I had to ask again.....
Anyone care to take a stab at this? Any ideas?

This could be useful to know. A little advice, mess around with the interface options, see if anything works. P.S. If you get it working, report back with how you did it.

Solved!
I had another thread on this one.

Mister_Playboy came up with:

Re: Changing default Icon 4 one file type?
I found a GUI program to do this:

Code:

sudo apt-get install assogiate

You can find it as Applications > System Tools > File Types Editor after installation.

Filetypes such as .tar and .bz2 are listed under "Multipurpose Files" and are found as "x-tar", "x-bzip2", etc.

Right click and pick "Edit", then choose a default icon.
