Dear Sirs ,

In \fpc\ and \lazarus\ directories , some text file names do not have an extension
such as *.TXT . This situation is causing difficulty in MS Windows because when I ( or best , all of Windows users ) click on any one of these file names
Windows Explorer ALWAYS asking to select a program to open the file .

Would you please , consistently append an extension to text file names such as *.TXT
or any other extension suitable for you to text file names to remedy this difficulty .

Renaming here is not solving the problem because every new build is coming without
text file name extensions .

Thank you very much ,

Mehmet Erol Sanliturk

Creating a script that automatically renames them for you after an update may help.

Opening them with lazarus directly instead of windows explorer may help.

Using a decent OS will definitely help. :)
