Edit file extension

The "Edit file extension" modal allows you to edit the extension of selected file through the file navigation menu. By right-clicking on a selected file, you can change it's extensions.

Note

If you attempt to edit extension for file with the same name (filename), the modal will throw an error and may potentially disrupt your file system: THIS MODAL DOES NOT SUPPORT FILES WITH IDENTICAL NAMES.

Modal Subsettings

This modal includes two toggle settings to integrate it with other UNITADE features:

Below is an example image of these options in the modal:

• Include in extensions registry:

  Enabling this setting will add "TOTAL" extension of the full filename to the default extensions, similar to the on-load registry but disregarding case-insensitive mode. For example:

  # Example of filename created:
  example.conf.dat.dts
  
  # Output for the extensions ("extensions" setting):
  ['conf.dat.dts']

• Include in code editor module:

  Enabling this setting willadd "TOTAL" extension of the full filename to the code editor extensions, similar to the on-load registry while also disregarding case-insensitive mode.

Warning

This toggle is closely related to the code editor module and its behavior with extensions. For more information, refer to: "Code editor - working with extensions"

As noted, it is not recommended to enable both toggles simultaneously due to potential instability and/or issues. For more details on this mode and how it behaves in edge cases, see the corresponding article.
