Working with Unknown File Extensions

If you want to work with a file of a type that the IDE does not recognize,
you can associate it with one of the file types that the IDE is familiar
with.
To register a file extension as belonging to a specific file type:
- Choose Tools > Options from the main menu.
- Click Miscellaneous in the Options window.
- Select the Files tab.
- Click New. The Enter New File Extension dialog opens.
- Enter the file extension that you want to register and click OK. The dialog closes.
- In the Associated File Type (MIME) field, select the file and MIME type that you want to associate with your new file extension.
-
For some object types, such as Java objects, it is not possible to add an extension.
