SUMMARY

    Hello !

    The menu entry to create a new text file defaults to the .txt extension.
This may
    have a meaning for DOS/Windows users because MS systems launch an
application to open
    a file based on the file extension. Extensions have historically no meaning
on Unix
    systems where file type detection occurs to know what kind of file it is
and, when
    configured, what application to use to open that file.

    However, on my systems I use mostly the .md extension for text files as
markdown is
    much more interesting in terms of display possibilities than "pure" text
files.

    My wish is to have a configuration entry to specify which extension to use
for that
    menu entry (without needing to tinker with the distribution files). Users
would be
    able to have their preferences tunable : .md, .rst, .txt, .cpp :)

    Maybe a way to make it easy to add new types for "create new" files ?

    Thanks in advance !

Thomas.
