The extension for codeblocks projects is .cbp.
Therefore I think it is more intuitive to name default extension for workspaces .cbw instead of .workspace.
Of course keep .workspace as an alternative for backward-compatibility.
What do you think?

Sounds ok to me. Valid point, working solution, better for FAT systems, and may make extension handling easier at a distant time in the future.
Hi !
I had proposed that in that post (http://forums.next.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,5167.0.html) with lots of answers as you can see :wink:.
As asked in the post, is it possible to add 'dll' to the extensions listed in the linker tab settings (as it is possible to link dlls with mingw) ?

It would things make more consistent. Backwards file compatibility is a piece of cake to do (but you might want to make it auto-rename the file extension to cbw when opening a .workspace file).
Cbw is already taken: http://filext.com/file-extension/cbw (http://filext.com/file-extension/cbw), but even though, it's much better than .workspace

BYO
So what? cbp is ALREADY taken, too! (CD Box Labeler Pro). I think being too scrupulous about extensions being taken, is just well, ridiculous.
jjj and kkk are free :lol:
id prefer cbw too (for whatever little my vote counts for).
cbw is shorter and clean :)
cbw could mean "Code Blocks Wizard" :!:
cbp could mean "Code Blocks Profile" :!:
:D

I'm voting for
wcb, it's not taken yet...

But it also breaks consistancy. There are plenty of non-unique file extentions. One example would be *.chm that i've seen used in a half dozen things. Whether a 3 letter extention is already used by something obscure shouldnt effect the decision.
