Generic blank icon on .MSCZ files
Hello,
Files with extension .mscz
are shown with a blank icon instead of the MuseScore icon.
System specs:
- Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS
- architecture: x86_64
- windowing system: X11
Steps to reproduce:
- Download the Linux AppImage from https://musescore.org/en/download
- Ctrl
+I
> Permissions > "Allow executing file as program"
- Run ./MuseScore*.AppImage install
- Add this to .bashrc
: export PATH=$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH
Result:
The app works, shows in Applications and in "Open with" with the MuseScore icon, double-clicking .mscz
files opens them in MuseScore, but they have generic blank icons.
What I have tried:
- Open: sudo gedit /etc/mime.types
- Add: application/x-musescore mscz
- Copy SVG: sudo mv application-x-musescore.svg /usr/share/icons/gnome/scalable/mimetypes
- Restart
Still no icons.
I have also tried pasting the SVG in these locations:
- ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/mimetypes
- /usr/share/icons/gnome/scalable/mimetypes
Something else I tried is to change the filename to mscore4portable.svg
instead of application-x-musescore.svg
for all three locations, since I saw that is the value of Icon
in the desktop file (the one in ~/.local/share/applications/org.musescore.MuseScore4portable.desktop
).
Another crazy thing I tried was setting both user:group to root:root
and $USER:$USER
on the SVG file.
Not sure what else to try, .mscz
files still appear with a generic blank icon.
Appreciate any ideas or suggestions you can share.

If this were Windows, I would tell you to "associate" the extension with MuseScore. I assume that this is an equivalent issue, but don't know how to "associate" a file extension with an application in Linux. Try googling your Linux flavor and the word "associate"?
Good luck!!!
