<![CDATA[Save As Command]]>
  • After editing of a file, and when I want the file to be “SAVE AS”, Is there a way to have ‘all files’ (.) come up than .txt? How do I set that as a preference?

    thanks for the thanks ;-)
    if any specific answer(s) were helpful, please don’t hesitate to also give it/them an upvote

    You guys are a rough unforgiving group

    it depends on who is online first, as you can see in my detailed direct response to you.
    i didn’t even look up if you already asked the same question, even if i had a kind of deja vu.

    maybe you guys could lighten up a bit.

    most of us are, including defending your question (i quote myself: maybe it’s his first fresh install in two years and the how to’s got forgotten through time.)
    so don’t hesitate to ask any time again

    Thanks so much for the information… You guys are a rough unforgiving group, Yes Alan, I do, and did remember that I posted the question two years ago, but somehow the setting became un-set. I did not know where to look for the prior posting, another shortcoming at my end.
    At that time, back than, when my original post was put in the que, I remember clearly that I was nearly run out of town for posting my question in a highly inappropriate area… Translate that: In the wrong category. (You can look that up too.)
    Guilty as charged. Again thanks, but maybe you guys could lighten up a bit.
    Happy New Year all.

    I thought you also did this with posters you don’t immediately recognize – so you can “welcome them to the community” if they are brand-new. :)

    yes, i just do it to ease possible tensions of first time visitors by providing a polite welcome.

    i always just look at their counter, and if it was more than 1, i never took the time to check the previous posts before … unless i had a reason to do so, eg. the last post was either very funny, very smart or very rude.

    Ha–neither one. I just clicked his avatar (which looks a lot like my avatar – :-P ) to get a quick look at what he posted previously

    a combination of different reasons and different points of view often leads to a more complete and better result ;-)

    damned, i knew it sounded so very familiar ;-)
    cool memory and nice quick thread find.

    maybe it’s his first fresh install in two years and the how to’s got forgotten through time.

    I guess you forgot this thread you initiated “2 years ago” or so: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/13739/save-file

    if you want to “save as” a file and always have all types (*.*) as the file type selector, regardless of if it is a new file or if it already had any extension, you can set it here:

    settings > preferences > default directory
    select the option “use new style save dialog (without file extension feature)” as seen in this screenshot:

    Imgur

    from now on you will have *.*as the default type selector as seen in the screenshot below:
