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.
