I have 2 questions:
1)I tried the command 'FileType NEW=.txt' with the latest beta seems to me that does not work.(the file is not created)
2)In the 'Folder Options dialog' when i tried use 'Save --\>For This Folder + Layouts & Folder Tabs' the folder, present in the other 'tab groups' are not update with the new format.
But should upgrade the format even if the folder is present in different tab groups?
[quote]From manual:
For This Folder + Layouts & Folder Tabs: As well as saving the format for the current folder, if this folder is used in any layouts, styles or tab groups the stored format for that folder will also be updated.[/quote]
Opus 10.0.1.3 X64 on Windows 7
Someone can confirm?
Thanks

It works okay here.
Does the New -\> Text Document menu item work for you?
If not, does it work in Explorer?

Even if you close & re-open the window or tabs?
Saving the format has no effect on open windows, only on saved settings.

The Format of the folder saved in the tab groups are not updated.
In Preferences -\>Folders-\>Path Formats-\>FolderName the format is saved
but
In Preferences-\>Foldes Tabs-\>Tabs Group-\>NameOfTheGroup
(In the Tabs) I click on the same folder -\>Edit Format and the format is the old one
Another thing If i open
Preferences -\>Folders-\>Path Formats-\> and click Edit on a folder (without closing the window)
I go in the 'Folder Options' and click Save-\> For this folder
Dopus crashes
