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
- Yamaban.
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]
