I need help for a small issue with the Nautilus file manager.

The problem is that it dosen't show mimetypes icons for some file types. Here's a screenshot :

You can see that all of these files (.c++, .h, .py and .class, and even a lot ofothers) have the same icon. It's very hard to distinguish them. I have elementar luna intall on another hard drivve and with pantheon files manager there's no problem.

So I install the same theme icon theme: no effect. I installed pantheon-files: it displays the mimetypes of .py file but not the others. I check if the icons are present in / usr / share / icons / / mimetypes: they are. I try to manually specify an icon with assogiate: no effect.

So I need your help for this issue.

Thank you !

This (probably) is because Nautilus is set to display a preview of the file (even if there is none in your case)

Got to Nautilus --> Preferences --> Preview

and set "Show Thumbnails" to "never"...and here they are.

  • In my case, I've disabled preview for text files and icons are visible. Thanks
