I'm not a fan of too many different file extensions for the same purpose. Ideally there should only be one and personally I even find the existence of *.pp vs. *.pas already a bit annoying. My own practical problem with file extensions is that services like for example github don't know all possible file extensions when it comes to syntax highlighting or collecting info about used programming languages (I want to contribute pascal usage to the statistics) and my personal solution to circumvent this is to use only .pas for my own code and even my include files now all have the extension .pas (currently I am using inc_something.pas or unitname_inc_something.pas so that all my include files appear next to each other in a directory listing, previously I have tried to use .inc.pas but Lazarus did complain about dotted names so I don't do this anymore) -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
