dduardo said:The save dialog box should have a dropdown menu which allows you to save the file as .txt or * (all files). If you pick the * option then you can have it save as .py.
I'm not totally sure, but it is worth a try.
When you save a file from notepad, you are giving it a specific file extension that tells the computer what type of file it is. The .txt extension means that the file is a plain text document, which can be opened and edited with any basic text editor. Saving a file without the .txt extension means that the file will not be recognized as a plain text document.
If you save a file from notepad without the .txt extension, the file will not be recognized as a plain text document. This means that it may not open properly in other text editors, and it may not be formatted correctly. It is important to always include the appropriate file extension when saving a file to ensure that it can be opened and read correctly.
Notepad is a basic text editor, so it assumes that you are creating a plain text document. Therefore, it automatically adds the .txt extension to your file name when you save it. This is to ensure that the file is recognized as a plain text document and can be opened and edited by other text editors.
Yes, you can change the file extension when saving from notepad. Simply type in the desired extension after the file name in the "Save As" dialog box. However, be aware that changing the file extension may cause the file to be unreadable by certain programs that are designed to open specific file types.
Notepad supports a variety of file extensions, including .txt, .bat, .cmd, .ini, and .log. These are all plain text file extensions and can be opened and edited in notepad. However, notepad does not support more complex file types such as .doc, .pdf, or .html. To open and edit these types of files, you will need a different program or software.
