File extension problem

[noembryo]

These are the app's specs (it would be nice if copying these, produced a markdown text too.. just saying 😃 )
Windows 10 22H2

{
    "applicationName": "Markdown Viewer",
    "applicationDescription": "Standalone Markdown Viewer",
    "applicationVersion": "3.1.1",
    "homepage": "https://github.com/c3er/mdview",
    "issueLink": "https://github.com/c3er/mdview/issues",
    "frameworkVersions": [
        [
            "electron",
            "30.0.3"
        ],
        [
            "chrome",
            "124.0.6367.119"
        ],
        [
            "node",
            "20.11.1"
        ],
        [
            "v8",
            "12.4.254.15-electron.0"
        ]
    ]
}

The application opens the files that have an extension of .MD as simple texts.
Just renaming the extension fixes this, but I don't see the point in this, since Windows filenames are not case sensitive..

Anyway, thank you for this nice app.. 🙏

Thank you for filing this issue!

You're right that Windows doesn't make a difference but strings in (virtually) any programming language are case sensitive if no extra step was made. But you're right, that it doesn't make sense to distinguish between .md and .MD (in any OS). I'll release a fixed version hopefully soon.

Until then, there is another workaround: in the settings dialog is a checkbox "Render files of this type as Markdown"

You can reach the settings dialog via "Edit" --> "Settings" or be pressing Ctrl+, (Control + comma).

These are the app's specs (it would be nice if copying these, produced a markdown text too.. just saying 😃 )

Please make another issue, if you really wish this 🙂

You're welcome! Thank you!

Nah, it's not something that I really need very often (hopefully 😉).
It's just something that I would do if I wanted for my programs to report their info to the world.
Fortunately, for now, I just let the users send me error logs, so a simple text is enough for that..

Anyway, I'll close that now since it will be fixed in a future update..

This was just an easy implementation this way, this info is mostly for me and I have no problem reading JSON.

I'm reopening this. Issues should stay open until I released a fixed version. I'll close this together with a notification about the new version when it is released.

I released version 3.2.0 which compares the file extensions now case insensitive.
