Thank you.
have a look at these: /etc/mime.types (file) /usr/share/mime/ (dirs) /usr/share/mimelnk/ (dirs) /usr/share/mime-info (dir)
grep for '.md' and/or for 'Genesis ROM' in there.
Just adding your own line to /etc/mime.types may look nice, but is
possibly not what you want, more likely a new entry in a file or directory under ~/.local/share/mime/
Have a nice weekend

Files in ~/.local/share/mime also seem to have been automatically generated by update-mime-database and should not be edited. Should I
still create a new file for the ".md" extension and add it to this directory?
Huh? The "orignal" text/x-markdown file should already exist
globally:
/usr/share/mime/text/x-markdown.xml
also generated from tis file: /usr/share/mime/packages/freedesktop.org.xml
but, feel free to do so: [code] mkdir -p ~/.local/share/mime/text cp -t ~/.local/share/mime/text /usr/share/mime/text/x-markdown.xml [/code]
or, create is yourself, short version content follows (view mail as source or plain text if not shown) [code]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mime-type xmlns="http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info" type="text/x-markdown"> <comment>Markdown document</comment>
<sub-class-of type="text/plain"/> <glob pattern="*.md"/> <glob pattern="*.mkd"/> <glob pattern="*.markdown"/> </mime-type> [/code] _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
No, I don't have x-markdown.xml, nor is markdown mentioned in freedesktop.org.xml.
I did follow your suggestion, first created the ~/.local/share/mime/text directory and then copied the code you listed into the file x-markdown.xml into that same directory.
Unfortunately the ".md" files still show as "plain text document" - is there something else I should do?
In the process I also lost the file type for pdf-documents which now show as file type "unknown"...
Found the problem with the disappearing file type for pdf-documents: I had been too quick editing the freedesktop org.XML file which is now corrected.
I am still unable to have .md files displayed as markdown files - display as "text/plain type" - and in addition I seem to have lost my icons... Tried to back out but the icons are still absent. Clearly an edit I made caused this.
