    File type question.

    I am running KDE 4.2.4. When I download an iso file the file shows up as a question mark. How can I get an iso file to show up with the CD icon it used to have?

    What tells:
    Code:
    file Your_downloaded_iso_file_here
    It should tell:
    $ file Test.iso
    Test.iso: ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data 'Test
    Before you edit, BACKUP !

      It comes up with the correct information. I just am trying to get the file to show up in the desktop folder as an icon rather than a question mark. The system knows whst the file is, it just does not seem to know how to associate it with an icon.

        If the KDE is detecting the filetype. What do you have at System Settings > Advanced > File Associations (.iso) ?


        Here the File Associations .iso has info: raw CD image and the icon is application-x-cd-image.png

          The screenshot was helpfull. I have additional entries that I think VirtualBox added. My entry that corresponds with yours has the icon. The additional entries I have show the question mark...
