I have some files in .local/share/mime/application:

$ ls application/
x-extension-jpg.xml   x-extension-png.xml  x-msdownload.xml          
x-wine-extension-hlp.xml  x-wine-extension-ini.xml
x-extension-mrss.xml  x-extension-pp2.xml  x-wine-extension-cpl.xml  
x-wine-extension-inf.xml  x-wine-extension-its.xml

and they look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mime-type xmlns="http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info"; 
type="application/x-extension-jpg">
  <!--Created automatically by update-mime-database. DO NOT EDIT!-->
  <comment>jpg document</comment>
  <glob pattern="*.jpg"/>
</mime-type>

After deleting them and also .local/share/mime/mime.cache, it started
generating thumbnails again.

I'm a bit concerned about this resolution because it seems that these
files were automatically generated by something called update-mime-
database, so its likely they will come back to bite me later. Well, at
least I'll know what to do.
