Want to add a new file type, or a file type that already exists but with a new file extension? You can add new text file types to HTML-Kit 292 with these steps:
- Select "Edit | Preferences" from the main menu.
- Change to the "File Types" tab.
- Click "Colorized File Types"
- List the new file extension in the appropriate field. For example, if your new file extension is "tpl" (*.tpl), and if you’d like it to be colorized as a HTML file, add ";tpl" (without quotes) to the end of the "HTML, XML" field.
- Click "OK" followed by another "OK" to save preferences.
You can now open *.tpl files from the Workspace and view them with HTML syntax highlighting.
If you’d like the new file type to be listed on Open and Save dialogs:
- Select "Edit | Preferences" from the main menu.
- Change to the "File Types" tab.
- Select the "USER" file and click "Add File Type."
- Enter a description for the file type. For example, if you’re adding *.tpl, enter "TPL Files" and click "OK."
- In the "Edit File Type Extensions" field, enter one or more file masks for the new file type. If you’re following our "tpl" example, enter "*.tpl" (without quotes). To match *.tpl and *.tpl2, enter "*.tpl;*.tpl2″
- Click "OK" to save preferences.
Your new file type will be listed on "File > Open," "File > Save" and similar dialog boxes.
