Re: [Lazarus] Package filenames with _package

I don't agree, that's what file extension is for. Filtering and sorting should easily be done to distinguish package files from others. There is one moment: ATSynedit has - atsynedit.pas (main unit) - atsynedit_package.pas (with suffix) You see suffix is useful here. -- Regards, Alexey
