calibre viewer + filetype icons
Every time I update calibre the calibre viewer program changes all my custom eBook filetype icons. Is there a way to prevent this behaviour ?

Please read item #9 in Guldelines (bottom of page)
This is an epub after a calibre update I usually assign individual icons to the major eBook formats, so this is what an epub would normally look like. How can i prevent calibre viewer from changing my icons with its own generic icon every time calibre is updated. These are all the different types i have to change back after each calibre update Last edited by BetterRed; 06-02-2020 at 03:00 AM.

The calibre viewer doesnt change icons, that will be your desktop environment. From that screenshot am guessing you are on linux. Figure out why your desktop environment keeps re-assigning icons and prevent it from doing so. The calibre installer calls xdg-mime to register what mimetypes its programs are capable of handling, presumably your desktop environment has a broken xdg-mime
