Ok, a couple of minutes later and I can tell that the problem is solved
The described solution here works. However, it only works from within DEVONthink. The required steps are:
- In DEVONthink go to a markdown file
- Right click this file
- Choose “Show in Finder” from the context menu that shows up
- In the window that pops up, right click on the file
- Choose “Open with”
- Select a markdown editor (I have chosen DEVONthink)
- Before you confirm this, check the box “Always open with”
- Now, you are all set
For me, it did not work using only the “Finder”. In Finder, I searched for a markdown file, right clicked it and it showed that this kind of file will always be opened via DEVONthink. But obviously that was not true.
Sorry for the hassle!
