I had to reinstall my computer from scratch. I had saved a large set of rules that manage my .md (markdown) files.

Since the reinstall I noticed Hazel now recognizes the markdown files as "text" files. My rules use kind is "Markdown Documents".

In finder those same files appear as kind: Markdown.

Also: Markdown is not an option in the list of possible file kinds in Hazel. There is "Markdown Document"

My worry is that I have a separate set of rules for text files. So changing the kind statement in the rules is a painful option.

I am running the 53a8 (2355) beta, because I previously had an issue where hazel would not delete empty folders

If you set your Markdown rule to appear before the text one, it should be fine, as long as that rule does not use the "Continue" action.

Somehow this problem came back.

In Finder, markdown files show up as Markdown
In Hazel, Markdown file kind is not an option. There is Markdown Document

Hazel does not recognize Markdown kind as the same as "markdown document" kind. So now none of my rules using that criteria match.

What changed is a mystery to me.

What can I do?

Do you have multiple apps which handle Markdown files? They could be providing conflicting definitions.
