Latest RC: txt extension is "unknown"

[jvidalw]

Hi!
I just installed the latest RC 5.19.726.2515 and now, whenever I try to open a plain txt file, NP3 says that " unknown file extension (.txt). open anyway", which is completely ridiculous for a text editor.
I hope you guys can look into this.
going back to the latest stable fixes it immediately.

Hello @jvidalw ,
Today, we have Fix this abnormal behavior ! 😬

Feel free to test the BETA version "Notepad3Portable_5.19.730.2519_RC2" or higher.
See "Notepad3 BETA-channel access #1129" or download it from Notepad3Portable_5.19.730.2519_RC2.

Further suggestions and comments are welcome... 😃

edit: only portable? no installer?

You are here in the "Development/BETA" area of Notepad3. 🤔
For this reason, we have only "Notepad3Portable" or "PAF" version, but if you follow this #1105 , you can update your "latest Installer" version. 😃

thx again.

I didn't see your Notepad3.ini file yet, so this could also be an update problem.
Please open Appearance->Customize Schemes... (Ctrl+F12), select "Text Files" and press "Reset".
This will restore default settings for Text Files.

well, tried the latest build 2519 and the issue persists. I'll try RaikoHoff's suggestion now.

update: That did it! thx, RaikoHoff!

Sorry, weird circumstances after Updating leaves an empty "Associated filename extensions" field for Text Files (new) and forgot former settings for text files 😞 . Hope, that next release candidate will fix this.

Hello @jvidalw ,
As far as I am concerned, this issue may be closed....

[jvidalw]

Yeah, I think so. But, please note RaikoHoff's comment. that should be fixed.

Don't worry, it's already fixed in Notepad3Portable_5.19.730.2521_RC2 😉
We prefer that the person who initiates an issue closes his issue himself by clicking on the "Close and comment" button.
