How can I change the "kind" associated with a file extension in Finder?

[jagooch]

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 associates with the “md” file extension?

Select the md file, then select "Get Info" from the Finder's "File" menu. In the "Open with:" menu of the "Get Info" window, select the app that you want to use to open that file. Then click "Change All..." so that all documents with the .md file extension will open with that app.
