*said who*

stop to explain me the windows explorer behavior and try to understand unix
if that would be true create new file "mytextfile" would have an extension

better test out how your system works before write such e-mails or at
least shutdown your windows and boot a linux system

crate new file -> "h.reindl" -> it is recognized as plaintext file and opened with kate

complete non-sense, as i already said: that is *not* microsoft
windows and there is no need for *any* extension

why does "test.css" not end in "test.css.txt"?
why does "test" not end in "test.txt"?
why does "test.crt" end in "test.crt.txt"

this is inconsistent crap behavior
