Sorry I was not talking about the documentation, but about how it can
done with free desktop specification/tooling.

Adds the file type descriptions provided in mimetypes-file to the
desktop environment. mimetypes-file must be a XML file that
follows the freedesktop.org Shared MIME-info Database specification
and that has a mime-info element as its document root. For each new
file type one or more icons with name type-subtype must be
installed with the xdg-icon-resource command in the mimetypes
context. For example the filetype
application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text requires an icon named
application-vnd.oasis.opendocument.text to be installed
So looks like if your mime.xml file have the mime type:
application/nice.file
You got to install with xdg-icon-resource an icon named:
application-nice.file
xdg-icon-resource install --novendor --size 48 application-nice-
file.png application-nice.file
But as you said, it seems there is nothing about it on the guidelines.
Sorry for disrupting this thread.
It was not my intention.
