--- Comment #1 from David Faure <fa...@kde.org> ---
That's not how it works. The freedesktop mimetype spec
(https://specifications.freedesktop.org/shared-mime-info-spec/shared-mime-info-spec-0.21.html)
defines which icon is used for each file type. The icon is unrelated to the
application associated with the file at a given moment in time. This allows
consistent and meaningful icons even when no corresponding  app is installed
yet, when installing another app, when changing the associated app, etc.

(See also the icon naming spec
https://specifications.freedesktop.org/icon-naming-spec/icon-naming-spec-latest.html)
