Change default workspace extension to .cbw

[raph]

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 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, but even though, it's much better than .workspace

So what? cbp is ALREADY taken, too! (CD Box Labeler Pro). I think being too scrupulous about extensions being taken, is just well, ridiculous.

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" :!:

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.
