#2253 File extensions recognised by internal editor
Please can we expand the number of files that the internal text editor will open. Either by getting it to recognise a more comprehensive list of text file extentions, or by showing a warning, and then allowing the user to force the editor to open the file anyway.
The internal editor opens a number of file extensions as text (.txt .bat etc.) but the option to open with internal editor is greyed out if the file extension is one that it doesn't recognise. I would really like to be able to edit .ps1 files, which are standard text PowerShell scripts in windows.
P.S. I'm sorry if this is a duplicate. I did search :-)
I've added this now; the internal text editor now supports editing PS1 files.
Here's the latest development snapshot for testing:

Thanks and best regards,

Thankyou for that, it appears to work well.
However, what I did was uninstall KeePass 2.35, and then run this snapshot, which showed two bugs that I can see:
Firstly, it doesn't associate with kdbx files, or give them an icon.
(Edit: Sorry, I'm being dim here - I've just realised this is always going to be the case, since it's not an installed program!)
Secondly, it remembered the recent file list from the 2.35 installation, but got the links wrong -
C:\Users\XXX\Dropbox\xxx.kdbx became
C:\Users\XXX\Users\XXX\Dropbox\xxx.kdbx

Paths in the configuration file are relative. Most likely you ran the development snapshot from a different location, so the changed paths are not surprising.
Development snapshots are intended only for testing (e.g. plugins won't work with it).
Best regards,
Dominik
Cool. Thanks.
Will this feature be included in the next stable release? Any idea when that's due for release?
There are generally no deadlines for releases, they come out when Dominik thinks it's appropriate.
cheers, Paul
This feature will be included in KeePass 2.36, yes. There is no fixed release date yet.
Best regards,
Dominik
Thanks Dominik. I love KeePass. It's invaluable to me, and your efforts are much appreciated!
That may be your intention, Dominik, but I've never had any problem with just swapping out the files and leaving them there until the next release. For example, I'm currently still running "Version 2.35 (Dev. 170319)"; I tested those changes and never saw any reason - including plugins - to switch back.
Just FYI.
Thankyou for the information. It's good to know that at least some snapshots are stable enough to use on a daily basis, and that so far they have worked fine with the plugins you use. It's also great that you are in a position to test snapshots and report bugs. However, by definition these are development snapshops, not tested stable releases. I may choose to take the risk, and run this snapshot for the moment to keep the feature it provides, but I know thre will be risks to that. For instance, if I come across bugs I may need to check them across different snapshots, and there is a greater chance that I may lose data in the process.
Intent and intention have different meanings. Dominik said that the snapshot is not intended for use in a live environment - meaning still possible, but not recommended for reasons stated. You implied that it was his intention to make it impossible to use snapshots in a live environment. This is not the same thing.
Of course, that's your choice; I just wanted to share my experience and my opinion that Dominik's snapshots tend to be much more stable than he himself is willing to admit.
Not according to dictionary.com (www.dictionary.com).
That was not my, ahem, intent. :-)
