You should upgrade or use an alternative browser. While organizing the 15k markdown notes that I recently imported into Obsidian, I noticed that Finder show the "Kind" for ".md" extension files as "E-Book" , which is definitely wrong.

I did a few google searches and I didn't find a useful answer among the results, most of which were from 2008 and 2011 time frame. Many mentioned editing the associated application's Info.plist file, but I have serveral markdown editors installed, so would I have to edit the Info.plist for every application capable of editing markdown files? That seems a bit intense to me.

Is there practical way for the end user to change the "kind" that Finder displays for ".md" files in the "kind" column?

It should be "markdown" , but instead it is "e-book" as seen in this screenshot.
