      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.

        @Harry-Nelson ,

        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.
