Notepad++ tries to open all files in current folder when opening file without extension

[cubic]

Notepad++ tries to open everything in current folder when editing/opening new file from Total commander.
If there are 5000 files in that folder, Notepad++ will open all of them.

Repro:
Go to a folder where there are many subfolders/files.
Press Shift+F4.
Enter file name WITHOUT extension (example "myfile")
Press enter to create file.
Notepadd++ will open all files in that folder (after some minutes).

Its not a TC fault, so you have to complain to the Notepad++ author.

2cubic, please post your settings.

> TC-Menu "Configuration > Change Settings File Directly"
>> Search in wincmd.ini for line "Editor=" and post the whole line.
>>>> Close wincmd.ini (and wcx_ftp.ini) without saving.

Also report your app version:
- TC version and bitness
- OS version and bitness
- N++ version and bitness

Does that always happen, with all folder and file names?
Does that happen with "filename.ext" too?

Hi,

I had observd a similar effect on one of my configurations with NP++:
viewtopic.php?p=396357#p396357

Member Hacker suggested following solution (in the linked thread) which solved this problem:

Try adding a space and
"%1"
after the path to your editor's exe in TC's configuration.

That would be my advice too.

It worked. Thanks!
