Miniconda environments not automatically recognized and env name not shown in status bar

[rhkarls]

Problem Description

Edit: this only occurs when having both Anaconda and Miniconda installed. If temporarily renaming Anaconda3 folder to something else, the Miniconda environments are detected and the name is showing in the status bar. Admittedly a very minor issue.

Two minor issues that are possibly related.

Miniconda environments are not automatically detected and shown in the combobox/dropdown list under Preferences -> Python interpreter. Anaconda environments are detected.

Also a minor cosmetic issue where the environment name of miniconda environments are not displayed in the status bar. For Anaconda environments, it is displayed as conda: env name.

Versions

Spyder standalone and both Anaconda and Miniconda installed

• Spyder version: 4.2.3 None
• Python version: 3.7.9 64-bit
• Qt version: 5.12.10
• PyQt5 version: 5.12.3
• Operating System: Windows 10

This is a very minor issue indeed, but not something that we could solve easily because we'll need to handle multiple Anaconda/Miniconda installations. And our current environment detection mechanism can't do that.
