Changing Default file extensions

[psaikia]

When I am opening an empty file from File--New--Empty File.

It always saves in .c and complies in only c . and not in .cpp or complies in C++.

I have to manually change the extension from .c to .cpp 

Is there any way to auto recognize and saves and complies in either c or c++

I think that is faster creating a new .cpp file. You can name your file istantly as you wish, you have the right extension and you can optionally select a folder if you are working on a big project with many files.
