I have downloaded app, does not require installing just start from folder, setup .desktop file. All works fine. Now I want to associate the file type in Gnome, so I can double-click on a file and it will be opened in that app.

I manage to set up that too, using ~/.config/mimeapps file. Also, setup icon for that file type. Works great. Where I have problem is that mime file type for this file is application/octet-stream and this associate many other octet-stream files (basically every unknown file type) to be opened with this app.

Is it possible to somehow narrow this, so a specific file extension is affected? Is it possible?

I am on Ubuntu 20.10 Gnome.

  • One option would be to assign a MIME type for the extension. Add a record to your /etc/mime.types file and reboot.

Figured out, had to create my own MimeType.

Just followed this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingMimeTypes
