I use N++ for PL/SQL development. After editing a file how do I save it with a .SQL extension. The filetype .sql doesn't show up on my N++ Save as dialog box. Other extensions such as .txt, .c. .c++, .php etc show up. How do i configure N++ to show .sql?
Thanks.

This has nothing to do with N++, but is somehow annoying in Windows Explorer. Maybe someone here can help me.
I have a number of file extensions set to be opened with N++. Windows Explorer shows all these files as N++ files under file type. Is there a way in Windows Explorer to be able to still sort on the _real_ file extension, instead of the labeled filetype? I don't see the file extension itself in the column list.
Notepad++ doesn't use the file type for the extention at all, AFAIK. If you want to save the file as "myfile.sql" you should enter "myfile.sql", not "myfile" and hope the program adds the extention.
Even if you set it to *.txt and save the file, it doesn's add the extention ".txt". The file type on this page is just usable to filter what's in the directory you're looking at. If you go to save a file and just enter "myfile", Notepad++ saves it as "myfile", not "myfile.txt".
If you want to see all .sql files, you can enter *.sql" in the filename box, and it will filter the current directory.
This is a Save As window. Not a Open window. To say the primary use of the Save As Type combo box is to filter files is not consistent with the functionality of the Save As window. It does say: Save As Type. Why would you want to use it as a filter? Sounds fishy to me. It sounds like a bug or error in the program and your back peddling.
I would like to see npp give a list of available file types to save as according to the language selected, thats all i'm interested in. I hate it when I forget to add the extention, then go to open the file with another program and i cant because it is type "file" rather than .txt or .htm etc.
I would really like to see this, thankyou.
Good work so far.
