The manpage states (under install) [...] in the mimetypes context. For example the application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text filetype requires an icon by the name of application-vnd.oasis.opendocument.text to be installed. However, xdg-icon-resource complains if this convention is followed to the letter: $ xdg-icon-resource install --size 32 icons/red-32.png xdgtestdata-icontest xdg-icon-resource: icon name must have a .png, .xpm or .svg extension Therefore the xdg-mime documentation should be updated to include statements about the acceptable icon formats and filename extensions, or xdg-icon-resource should be modified to install extensionless icon files.
