Open .bas files only - PhilOfPerth - 11-17-2022
When opening a file for editing, the "Open file" option shows all files in the directory. Can this be filtered to show only the editable ones (".bas")?

Download the newest version. The new open dialog defaults to *.BAS, *.BI, *.BM files.

could InForm *.frm be added too?

.bi and .bm are library-files,

@PhilOfPerth
simply put, .bi and .bm are basic include files
but since QB64 doesn't allow function/sub code before your main executable code but only declarations, you have the .bi that is included before your main code, the .bi only contains declarations
then you have the .bm file containing the functions/subs, so your program may look like this
'$include: 'some.bi'
your main code
'$include: 'some.bm'
