A new UTI ?

[fblondiau]

Hello,

You kindly ask to report such new entry, so, here it is : on Monterey, it looks like the

mdls -name kMDItemContentType PATH_OF_AN_EXISTS_MD_FILE

is giving a new beast

kMDItemContentType = "public.markdown"

which, maybe, explains why, on my MacBook Pro (M1 Max), your so appreciated QuickLook extension is not working anymore.

macOS do not provide a system UTI for the markdown files.

Probably some application has defined this UTI.

What is the output of this command?
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -dump | grep -n12 'public.markdown'

This is what I get

----

I have the exact same issue. The weird thing is that I have Nova disabled in the Quick Look extensions and Nova isn't the default app for .md files. So I have no idea how this is blocking QLMarkdown from working.

Ok, the app that define the UTI is Nova.

The release 1.0.6 handle the new UTI.

Indeed, I had Nova installed also. Thanks !
