Issue #7712 has been updated by trans (Thomas Sawyer). Instead of changing the Priority to "Low" (which I suspect means "watch wither on the vine") why don't you change it to "Get'er Done"!? Postmodern has already done most the work with the list he gave, just ask him to submit the patch be done with it. If there is some deeper concern with this idea (which for a feature request is about is simple as it can get) then communicate it. ---------------------------------------- Feature #7712: Add .txt extensions to all plain-text documentation files for Windows users https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7712#change-35554 Author: postmodern (Hal Brodigan) Status: Open Priority: Low Assignee: Category: DOC Target version: Given that Ruby is now aiming for Windows 8 support, all plain-text documentation files should have a .txt extension.

Issue #7712 has been updated by luislavena (Luis Lavena). Hello, More than filename and extensions, there is a line-ending issue. All the source code is LF (unix) which will result in something unreadable if opened with plain notepad (at least Windows 7 does a terrible job). I don't see all these files change line endings just to satisfy the Windows users. Normal developers will have a robust/better editor than Notepad which means filename with or without extensions to look around the source seems moot. I might be wrong, but at least I'm a Windows Ruby user and developer. ---------------------------------------- Feature #7712: Add .txt extensions to all plain-text documentation files for Windows users https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7712#change-35566 Author: postmodern (Hal Brodigan) Status: Open Priority: Low Assignee: Category: DOC Target version: Given that Ruby is now aiming for Windows 8 support, all plain-text documentation files should have a .txt extension.

That assumes people only open files from within their editor. Way back when I was using Windows regularly I switched Scite in for Notepad so double-clicking a .txt opened something moderately sane. This seems like a reasonable thing to want to do, and can't work without file extensions. This seems like a no-brainer to me. -- Alex

Issue #7712 has been updated by trans (Thomas Sawyer). @luislavena The `.txt` extension might not be necessary, but it wouldn't hurt, yes? And in some cases it would help? Also, there is the point of adding `.rdoc` to those files that are using it. Or, thinking ahead (imho), converting them to Markdown and adding `.md`. ---------------------------------------- Feature #7712: Add .txt extensions to all plain-text documentation files for Windows users https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7712#change-35580 Author: postmodern (Hal Brodigan) Status: Open Priority: Low Assignee: Category: DOC Target version: Given that Ruby is now aiming for Windows 8 support, all plain-text documentation files should have a .txt extension.
