I didn't find XML file that provides the mime type in https://github.com/bzg/org-mode

Could you post the output of the following command to make sure that mime-type is registered on your system:

gio info -a standard::icon PATH/TO/FILE.org

[tecosaur]

Running gio info -a standard::icon PATH/TO/FILE.org I get

attributes:
  standard::icon: text-plain, text-x-generic, text-plain-symbolic, text-x-generic-symbolic

Which I imagine means that there isn't a mime type for it by default.

To provide a mime type I imagine

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<mime-info xmlns='http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info'>
<mime-type type="text/x-orgmode">
<comment>Org-mode File</comment>
<glob pattern="*.org"/>
<alias type="text/x-orgmode"/>
</mime-type>
</mime-info>

would work however I'm not sure if this is something that papirus does ¯\(ツ)/¯

Hmm,

https://orgmode.org says

The de facto mimetype for org attachments is text/org.

So, icon name/mimetype should be text-org not text-x-orgmode.

Oh I see, oops. Thanks for catching that.

[tecosaur]

Oh, as an aside: other than visual nicety I'd find this particularly helpful as .org files can be exported to a wide range of formats, and result in a large number of files being produced. Not having a distinct icon makes it hard to identify the 'source' .org file in many cases, e.g.

In the above screenshot, the circled .org file is responsible for all of the files seen, yet it is hard to identify.

[tecosaur]

@SmartFinn any thoughts?

@tecosaur sorry, my skills don't let me implement this. Please wait until someone of our authors has time for it.

@varlesh thanks, it looks great!
