file extensions
-
while using notepad++ for more than 3 years, when saving files in the past, I have been able to assign my own file extensions to my files.
Since the last update, when I try to save a new file with my own file extension, Notepad++ v7.8.8 saves all of my files as file.ext.txt and saves it as a text file type.
This is a problem for the applications that I am working with.

Just change the Save as type field to
*.*instead of*.txt, and it will accept the extension you type. -
Worth noting N++ behavior is now just like all other Windows applications. It’ll add the extension of recognized file types but otherwise you need to do as @PeterJones suggests. I much prefer it this way … predictable and like other Windows applications.
Cheers.
