File Explorer File Types

Post by jerm »

Does anyone know how I can set File Explorer (in Rapid PHP) to display all file types by default? I can't see this setting anywhere. At the moment, I need to open some files with the .txt extension, but these do not appear in File Explorer.


Thanks

Hello there,

In WeBuilder (I don't have Rapid PHP, but I guess it's the same)
At the top of the File Explorer is a Red-Tick icon, click this and you get the options for the File Explorer
You will see "Show Files of Type" at the bottom, simply put *.* in there and click OK, it should now show you all files

Cheers
Mike

Thanks for the reply, but this option doesn't appear to be present in Rapid PHP.

Yes, it is present there.

Unless you are using project features, in this case you have to add *.txt extension to your project properties.

Thanks for that Karlis, I can now open all file types from within a project, but your reply raises another question. Once projects are created, is there any way to open Rapid PHP without opening the project last used. In other words, how do you use Rapid PHP without a project being open?

Thanks again.

The last selected project is always selected. It does not affect any of the features, so you should not worry about the project being open.
