Hi,

Not sure if this has been asked, if so someone can point me to the thread that has dealt with it.

Npp is a great tool but why is the edit box allowing user to specify the "user ext" so limited. I am a .Net programmer and just about all the files, like wsdl, xsd, csproj, xslt, config and (N)ant scripts are xml types. But I can only specify a few and then run out of room.

Can we have a more reasonable limit?

Thanks.

  Open a feature request dans le tracker.
  I'll remove this limit in the next release.
