Ahh. Idea automagically added anextension to the "file type on the IDE Options->File Types->xml entry. All this black magicking is sometimes a problem:) It certainly wasn't what I expected.
Trying again, I see that idea asks me whith what extension do I want to associate "anextension". I don't remember this box earlier - was it the same? I think my brain saw what it expected to see (append extension to file) instead of what was there :) Suggestion: on the "Register New Extension" box have a check box to "append extension to new file" to do jus't that instead of adding the new extension to an existing file type.
