Doesn't allow opening .md files (grayed out in open dialog) about markoff HOT 6 OPEN

@kaishin Same Issue the log tells:
2019-09-30 17:08:09.698 Markoff[76036:1295633] -[NSDocumentController fileExtensionsFromType:] is deprecated, and does not work when passed a uniform type identifier (UTI). If the application didn't invoke it directly then the problem is probably that some other NSDocument or NSDocumentController method is getting confused by a UTI that's not actually declared anywhere. Maybe it should be declared in the UTExportedTypeDeclarations section of this app's Info.plist but is not. The alleged UTI in question is "net.daringfireball.markdown". 2019-09-30 17:08:09.698 Markoff[76036:1295633] An NSDocumentController returned nil when sent -fileExtensionsFromType:@"net.daringfireball.markdown".

I'm experiencing the same issue (using Mac OS Mojave 10.14.2).

Referencing the linked issues above, this seems to be a long existed problem.

Not being able to open markdown files should be considered a major flaw as I believe being able to opening markdown files is the premise.

I can confirm that the problem still exists as of 6th July, 2020, restarted computer as per suggestion.

System Information:

• MacOS Version: 10.15.5
• Markoff Version: 1.0.1 (60)

Edited to make the tone more polite, sorry any discomfort that this may have caused.

@ed9w2in6 My current priority is to resurrect this project with a 2.0 for Catalina and a complete rewrite for Big Sur. I reviewed all the current open issues and I will make sure none of them are in the next major release. I might or might not backport some of the fixes to the older branches, since it's a question of affording the time to do so.

The context in which I open-sourced this app is very different from today's context. I would happily accept a PR on the older branches, but it's not a top priority for me now to fix these issues you outlined. Thank you for your understanding.
