I am a R user new to MacOS. I found that the "Kind" of .R files are shown as "Rez Source" instead of "R Source File", even after I set the default app for the file as Rstudio.app (See the screenshot here. Interestingly, the icon is correct).

I checked the Info.plist for Rstudio.app, as suggested in On OS X, how do you change a file's "Kind"?. Everything seems to be correct there (See the screenshot here). So I doubt whether the document types defined by Xcode.app is overriding the document types defined by Rstudio.app, although the latter is my current default app for opening .R file. (Here is the screenshot for Xcode.app's Info.plist) But this possibility cannot explain why the icon is the correct Rstudio icon while only the "Kind" column is incorrect.

Does anyone have an idea about how to let the "Kind" column correctly display the document type defined by my current default application?
