Re: odd behavior while create a new file -> unwanted extension added

surely, kate

but the point is that create a new file with the context-menu must not add any extension if one is already given and since we are talking about a unix-system there is no need for an extension at all, in case of no extension .txt is *not* added

finally that means there is some fuzzy-logic which must not be there

Thanks for your reply. I'm going to ignore it for the moment in order to ask a question.

Do you have .crt files associated with a text editor on your system?

a complaint

> You ask Konqueror to create a plain text file and then specify an extension that isn't a plain text file

besides that *it is* a plaintext file and if you ever would have looked
in a SSL cert file you would know that it - i am asked for a filename and
i enter a filename - there is nothing to add and change nor must the behavior
change between different extensions

why someone would need to create a .crt file?
because someone could by a certificte at Thatwte and has to copy&paste
the CA-cert as well as the orderred cert from a https-website!

i am saying that this stuid "i do not care about the user input and add what i want"
is pure Windows and not valued that much on a unix system
