A new feature was recently added to RJTE, where if we open a file with extension that is not known to RJTE, it opens a dialog asking:
"Do you wish to activate highlighter for this file type?"
This works nicely for file with extensions, but when I open Makefile, which does not have an extension, the program *always* asks this question, regardless of whether I answered Yes or No the previous time...
This is just one of several issues that I'm having with Makefile, I've discussed another in a separate thread, though that one is in Questions, not in Bugs...
Could I ask for some updates for non-extension files such as makefile ?? For the first time in quite some while, I'm working on a project that is requiring regular edits to Makefile,
which is why I'm suddenly stumbling on these issues...

Re: bug: "Do you wish to activate..." with Makefile
Fixed several issues with makefiles in next release (v15.91 final).
Makefiles should use the "Makefile" highlighter.

But for other files without extension it still keeps asking "Do you wish to activate the highlighter for this file type? [ActionScript]", even after clicking the "Yes" button

Here too, while edit a "host"-file without extension. Ask to activate [ActionScript] and after click [No] it asks again, when I open the file again.
Currently, I've as my solution, this auto-function complete disabled.

Re: FIXED: "Do you wish to activate..." with Makefile
This is pretty amazing... I've never realized how many commonly-used files with no extensions exist...
Makefile is the only one that I'm familiar with, though I've heard of Hosts...
What's also amazing, is that RJTE is, like, 50 years old, and this issue is only popping up now??
Anyway, I'm grateful once again, that our @Rickard is so responsive to our needs...
