Ok, what you just did will tell Sugar that Scratch is able to open files with the mime type 'application/x-scratch-project'. But this will not affect the icon of those files. > test.sb still has the standard icon and not the Scratch cat icon in the > Journal. > > Which activity is using the mime db update feature?

Well, activities are installed by a normal user so that file won't be modified. Instead, the cache will live in ~/.local/share/mime > Can I execute the mime db update on the command line? Yes: update-mime-database ~/.local/share/mime If you want to get the details and fully understand how this is done, you can check this code: http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/sugar-toolkit/repos/mainline/blobs/master/src/sugar/bundle/activitybundle.py#line318 That gets executed when a bundle is unpacked and registered in the shell. As you can see, if a file activity/mimetypes.xml is found in the exploded dir, a symlink will be made to this file form the mime dir and the updater script will be run.
