I see Notepad adds .txt to the save name I choose. I can change this by changing file type when saving. But, next time I must change the file type again. How do I choose the default file type?
I see that my type is "Normal Text" in the Settings > Preferences. But, I see no "None" option there.
I have Notepad++ v6.8.6 and I seem to have the opposite problem: it no longer saves to the default extension. If I save to filename "test" then Notepad++ no longer adds the ".txt" extension. This is very annoying as it requires me to constantly add the extension manually. – Jonathan Benn – 2016-02-08T16:01:25.770
@Domi I write so many text files! :) Several per day at least. I like using Notepad++ for writing meeting minutes – Jonathan Benn – 2016-02-08T16:02:43.327
Ok, I just confirmed that my related problem in Notepad++ v6.8.6 (".txt" extension not being added by default) is a bug introduced in that version only. The bug gets fixed in v6.8.7 https://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v6.8.7.html "2. Restore file extension feature in save dialog."
