Unable to set default extension #152
Description
I am trying to set the default extension to *.TXT. I have tried each of the settings below, but none of them works. When I save a new file, the extension is either not set at all, or it is set to JSON.
{
"default_extension": "txt",
}
{
"default_extension": "Text",
}
{
"default_extension": ".txt",
}
{
"default_extension": "*.txt",
}
{
"default_extension": "Plain Text (*.txt)",
}

Hi Scott,
Apologies for not getting back to you earlier. I don't get an error when I enter a path in the ST console, and the filename does not have a . in the filename, so I'm not sure what could be wrong. I decided to stop spending time troubleshooting ST since there are plenty of other text editors that do what I am looking for. For now, I am using Q10, which saves files as .txt by default and which displays the word count in the status bar.

I modified my config file following the path mentioned here:
// line99 // String containing the default file extension. Note the extension is only applied // if the specified path does not contain a dot (.) character. "default_extension": ".txt",It worked, but the last few days it doesn't work again, the newly created files still don't get any suffix added, what am I doing wrong?
