Description Henning 2023-02-24 22:09:07 UTC

SUMMARY
I use Kate (rpm version now, as flatpak doesnt work view preview) together with the preview plugin using Okular. 
When creating a .md file manually, the document preview plugin doesnt render it as markdown, probably because the mimetype of the generated document isnt adapted to the file extension. This may also be a problem with other mimetypes.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add the Preview Plugin to Kate and enable the view
2. Create a new document, save it as document.md
3. write some markdown syntax like "## header"
4. reload the document preview

OBSERVED RESULT
The mimetype seems to be incorrect. The preview plugin works normally on files created through Dolphin through templates or by creating a text file and naming it "document.md" manually

EXPECTED RESULT
Kates created documents should inherit the mimetype from their extension. I guess

It seems all files newly created by Kate and saved as filename.extension dont inherit the correct mimetype.
