Hello all,

Just now I set a python script to be executable and added a "hashbang" line
to indicate its target program (#!/usr/bin/env python3).   As a result it
lost the filetype icon I had previously set for python script files.

The thing is that checking the mimetype using "file -i" showed that script
files with and without the python icon showed the same one :
"text/x-python".   As such they /should/ have shown the same icon ...

A few googles later I came across this command "xdg-mime query filetype"
which showed a different mimetype (a result which turned out the one I
needed to use in a icon-for-mimetype .xml file)

The question is: what is the purposes of "file -i" and "xdg-mime query
filetype" returning different results ?   Or, in other words: what are they
aimed at ?

Regards,
Rudy Wieser
