Well, I was guessing, which is not known for its accuracy. :)

Hi coreplayer2!
I tried with pcmanfm; since it's a "cousin" of spacefm, thought it might be helpful to know if there the icon problem happens as well. But it does not: pcmanfm displays correctly the specific file types. But it's not a problem of the icon-theme. pcmanfm uses by default Nuove-XT (lxde-icon-theme.tcz). I left that and tried with spacefm, but it did not change anything.

Hi emninger
I'm glad you found the culprit for your theme issue. However I wouldn't use any theme even on a super computer, there will always be a performance hit.
As for the icon issue... I'm sure it's merely cosmetic, just my point of view and I've been using SpaceFM for a year or more on TC6 and earlier versions. Whether a specific file type has an icon assigned to it or not, doesn't appear to effect any function afaik. I mean if you assign a program to open script file once, from then on that program will always open a .sh file
Meanwhile, check this out.. I opened my road warrior machine and found all the files had their respective icons assigned.

I understand your point, but personally i do not share it: I find a dark theme more eye friendly and that's an essential point - for me ;)

In this sense, sure, it's only cosmetic. But i meant, the appearance is also an aspect of functionality: with a correct presentation of the file types already at the first glance you have an overview what's there in a directory.

Yes. Tells me that's not an internal problem of spacefm but of the environment. Do you think, it might/could have to do with something like a - missing - database of mimetypes?

Especially when I boot without persistent home, with base and norestore boot codes then loading up space fm the icon association reverts to default.
Thereafter booting normally with home persistence I consistently find icon association is restored as shown in the screenshot below
Still trying to resolve this...
