276945 - Ability to save with .htm extension by default (instead of .html)

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: Composer, enhancement)

Description

[arinkleff]

There is no way to save a file as ".htm"!!!

Comment 1

[Stefan Borggraefe]

You can enter an arbitrary name into the Save dialog. Doesn't this work for you?

Comment 2

[arinkleff]

Yes, but it is awful tedious to type ".htm" over and over -- why can't I make
.htm the default? 

Comment 3

[Frank Wein [:mcsmurf]]

Why make it the default :)? The .htm extension was only a workaround for old
operation systems that don't support four letters as extension and those OSes
are almost not used anymore.

Comment 4

[arinkleff]

cuz .htm is shorter and thats what my site uses. if 8 billion users type .html,
that is 8 billion extra ls -- why would anybody want to type all those ls? 

Comment 5

[Stefan Borggraefe]

Ok, turning this into an enhancement request then, because you already can save
with the .htm extension, there is just no way to make it the default. I agree
with Frank that 8+3 file names are ancient and the file format is really called
HTML, not HTM. But on the other hand many people still use .htm nonetheless.
