Unable to set default extension

[bkgrrl00]

I am trying to set the default extension to *.TXT. I have tried each of the settings below, but none of them works. When I save a new file, the extension is either not set at all, or it is set to JSON.

{
"default_extension": "txt",
}

{
"default_extension": "Text",
}

{
"default_extension": ".txt",
}

{
"default_extension": "*.txt",
}

{
"default_extension": "Plain Text (*.txt)",
}

Hi @bookgrrl, where are you putting the file? I just tested by placing

{
    "default_extension": ".txt"
}

In Packages/User/AdvancedNewFile.sublime-settings

@skuroda The file is in C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\Packages\User

Apologies, thought I responded to this. Are there any errors in the ST console after trying to enter a path? Is it always happening or only sometimes? The only thing I can think of is that the logic I have there removes the extension if it there's a . in the name.

Hi Scott,

Apologies for not getting back to you earlier. I don't get an error when I enter a path in the ST console, and the filename does not have a . in the filename, so I'm not sure what could be wrong. I decided to stop spending time troubleshooting ST since there are plenty of other text editors that do what I am looking for. For now, I am using Q10, which saves files as .txt by default and which displays the word count in the status bar.

I modified my config file following the path mentioned here:

// line99
     // String containing the default file extension. Note the extension is only applied
     // if the specified path does not contain a dot (.) character.
     "default_extension": ".txt",

It worked, but the last few days it doesn't work again, the newly created files still don't get any suffix added, what am I doing wrong?
