I have used Geany4Windows for a long while but am still confused how it handles editing text files and I decided to ask for help now!
If I open a new file from menu I can type plain text in it and yet when I save the file it does not give a .txt extension option to save as and while I can add this to the end of the name I give to the file and save it and it saves as a .txt file with no problem. If instead, I do not do this and leave off the file extension, and then save it, it saves as a file with no extension!

There is an option to open a new template file but in my Geany4Windows there is no .txt template. I tried making my own by making a file with a {fileheader} and saving it in C:Program Files (x86)Geanydatatemplatesfiles as file.txt.
This does then give me the option to open a new template text file but when I save that the text fileheader produces this:
Free text app macau. The file header shows as >> mynewdefaulttexttemplateGeany.txt.txt << with a double .txt extension.
If I could fix this file header for my default template file.txt file (so it doesn't save with the extension added twice), I would be happier working with plain text files in Geany4Windows! Anyone know how I can fix this please? Thanks.
MY EDITI have fixed this now and it was helped by Matthews post below (& see my comment on that).To recap the solution: I made a new custom file type file.txt with {fileheader}To make this work I added the line txt=*.txt to filetype_extensions.confAlso I created filetypes.txt.conf and added.

This works now! See screenshots before & after:

I do like Geany4Windows but it can be interesting trying to customise it to use new filetypes etc etc. Happy coding & editing with Geany on Windows & Linux (does it run on Mac?!). I'm pleased this is fixed now. :-)

You could create a file named like
filetypes.Text.conf
and inside of it put:Then add it to
filetype_extensions.conf
[Extensions]
section like:Geany Text Editor
The manual has more details about custom filetypes.

You can create a *.txt-file by saving your file like
frlanfrlanfoo.txt
or baa.txt
. Plain text not necessarily having txt

To explain Matthews answer more, you have been using filetype None, which does not have an extension. By creating the filetype Geany now knows about files with extension .txt
BTW you can edit filetype_extensions.conf by menu->tools->configuration files-> filetype_extensions.conf.
