True, it might be a bit strange for the user... The idea I had is that
it brings us the system MIME-type detection mechanism, so e.g. a web
page without extension would be recognized as HTML; and I'd think Geany
would do somewhat compatible detection after opening the file -- e.g. it
detects the HTML files as HTML even without extension.

But I totally understand your remark, and I quite agree with it. So...
perhaps it wasn't a good idea, not sure either.
