[suggestion] Allow selecting not only pdtfl-files but also .txt files in the Open Input Files List dialog

Post by Jensen Head »

The letter combination "pdtfl" is not one of those that I can remember. In addition, it is not displayed in its entirety in the extension selection field (which has a single-item list) of the Load Files lIst window. I suggest adding "Plain Text (.txt)" to the drop-down list, or even "All Files (*.*)"

Hi Jensen,

I'm afraid this suggestion was rejected - it's unclear why Daniel didn't let you know. Sorry about that.

Kind regards,
