Attachments:	IDE cannot open file with new extension

Description bb125 2008-04-29 20:33:05 UTC

Netbeans 6.1, jdk 1.6.0_06, opensuse 10.3

* Open Tools -> Options -> C/C++ -> Other
* Add a new filename extension and optionally change the default.
* Netbeans recognizes the new extensions as expected.
* End the netbeans session and start netbeans again.
* The changes in the filename extension list are lost.

Note: The new filename extensions can be seen in the configuration file
.netbeans/6.1/config/Preferences/org/netbeans/modules/cnd.properties
after ending the netbeans session. Unfortunately the configuration data
is changed to default when starting a new netbeans session.

IDE cannot open file with new extension

Comment 2 Alexander Simon 2008-04-30 07:02:41 UTC

P2 because it is regression

Comment 3 Alexander Simon 2008-04-30 07:11:44 UTC

Scenario for attachment:
1. start IDE with empty user dir
2. add new extension for  header
3. create new application
4. add new header with recently added extension
5. all editor features ok
6. restart IDE
7. see exception (in current developer IDE version)
8. file does not open in editor
9. added extension is missed

Comment 4 Alexander Simon 2008-04-30 07:20:56 UTC

Last scenario repeated in NB 6.1 (without exception that I suppose is suppressed)
So I think the bug is candidate to fix in path.
If user uses nonstandard file extension (s)he cannot use NB 6.1 for c/c++ development at all.
