Which ones?
The 'Makefile' must be without extension.
I fixed some.

Re: [Lazarus] Using extensions for text file names in files of Lazarus 0.9.25 with/and fpc 2.2.2rc .

Zitat von Mehmet Erol Sanliturk [EMAIL PROTECTED]:


 Dear Sirs ,


 I am using lazarus 0.9.25 with/and fpc 2.2.2rc2 and in general other
 newer fixes or development
 releases .
 I did not intend ( Makefile ) because it is a fixed name for Make
 programs and for a short message I did not mention it .
 At this moment , if I use , for example , ...  dir \lazarus\read*. /s
 it is counting 39 README files .

There are no REAME files in lazarus without .txt extension. There are 62
README.txt.
Maybe under windows the fpc directory is installed in the lazarus directory?


 Assume that I ( or We ) should use Windows for some reasons . I have
 FreeBSD , OpenSuse ,
 Mandriva , Fedora , CentOS , ... This is not solving the problem of
 Windows .


 I did not make a list of other text files , but my suggestion is about
 if you can find time and
 touch to such files append an extension to them to ease workings of
 Windows users .

Please give some examples.

Mattias

It is. In this case in ...\lazarus\fpc\ and below.

[Lazarus] Using extensions for text file names .

2008-07-21 Thread Mehmet Erol Sanliturk

Dear Sirs ,

In \fpc\ and \lazarus\ directories , some text file names do not have an 
extension
such as *.TXT . This situation is causing difficulty in MS Windows because
when I ( or best , all of Windows users ) click on any one of these file 
names
Windows Explorer ALWAYS asking to select a program to open the file .

Would you please , consistently append an extension to text file names 
such as *.TXT
or any other extension suitable for you to text file names to remedy 
this difficulty .

Renaming here is not solving the problem because  every new build is 
coming without
text file name extensions .

Thank you very much ,

Mehmet Erol Sanliturk

Creating a script that automatically renames them for you after an update may 
help.

Opening them with lazarus directly instead of windows explorer may help.

Using a decent OS will definitely help. :)
