Description waldemar 2003-12-31 19:09:47 UTC 
It would be nice to abandon this very long ".mrproject" suffix.
Three-letter extensions seem to be a  norm.  *.pln or *.pnr ???

At least, it should allow explicit file names supplied manually without
forcing the suffix.

Also, the file dialog box should filter the planner files.
Comment 1 Xavier Ordoquy 2004-04-09 14:06:46 UTC 
pln sounds rather good as opposed to pnr which is too near of png.
Comment 2 Chris Ladd 2004-04-21 18:43:57 UTC 
I vote for *.pln
Comment 3 Lincoln Phipps 2004-04-23 04:24:02 UTC 
Trouble is PLN is used as a WordPerfect spreadsheet file and so has a good
chance of clashing.

Planner (the single word) is also probaly going to clash from a trademark point
of view (assuming its not actually concidered to be a generic word anyway)
whereas , say the two words "GNOME Planner" is unlikely.

So... using GNOME and Planner we could use...

.gpn is OK (when googling) and also 
.gpx  (*if* we also would like to look at gzip compresssed files 
      (which we should especially if we start adding multiple baselines to files)
Comment 4 Lincoln Phipps 2004-04-23 07:10:17 UTC 
...gpz NOT gpx as I forgot .gpx is googleable for file extention hits.
Comment 5 Richard Hult 2004-10-01 19:09:59 UTC 
Closed, we use .planner now and that's it :)
