I have just installed the new 4.4 version of Notepad++ and I am having a problem saving new files. I develop in a language which uses the file extensions .f, .m, .r, .s, .t and .v. Since installing v4.4 I am now unable to save new files using these extensions.
If I attempt to save a file called 'test.v' with 'All Types (*.*)' in the Save as type section of the Save As dialog; the file is renamed to 'test.txt'. The only way I can currently save files with another extension is to manually rename them outside Notepad++.
Is there a way that I can add my own extensions to the 'Save as type' dropdown, or turn this feature off?
Thanks.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I have also found that the file extension change makes it difficult to access shared directories. For a start I normally have a link to the share which I need to access in the shortcuts section which appears on the left of the Save As/Open dialogs but that has now gone.
If I try to access the server by typing \\servername in the File Name box it then tells me that \\servername.txt is an invalid filename.

I have the same problem with .dtd files for xml.
Can this be added also?

Is there a way to define the standard file type?
