Well, in my process of learning things about Haiku, sometimes I do mess stuff, and this time I did it with the Filetype Icon for Source Code:
Where the Source Code Icon is messed. Now I don’t know how to get it back to normal. Yes, I was working on an icon for Python files so I could identify them visually, and messed the thing:
So now I need to know how to reset the Source Code icon. I would appreciate any hint on doing that without reinsalling Haiku
How could I haven’t thought of that!!.. yep… just get the icon from another Haiku install and get it there. Will do. Thanks!!! (i need winter to come ASAP… this heat is boiling my brain )
I sort of wonder why there’s ‘/boot/home/config/settings/mime_db/text/x-source-code’ on my system at all! I didn’t put it there, and it’s dated several days after I installed the system, so something must have written it.
In fact, to fix things I guess you could go even simpler than Humdinger suggests Just delete that file, and the tracker should revert to the /boot/system/… one.
Pete’s right, the system MIMEs are shining through, once you remove a MIME type from the ~/config/settings hierarchy.
It’s possible that you’ve installed an editor like Koder and assigned it to be the standard app to open a certain file type instead of the default Pe (e.g. with the “Open with…” dialog).
Any changes from the system default creates an entry in the ~/config/settings hierarchy.
hehehe… Yes. I like this “feature” on OSes, that is why I like Haiku and Silverblue.
Removing the files inside mime_db did the trick.
Thanks both.
