Change the extensions of the databases to .xndb/.xnth

Post by m.Th. »

Please change the extensions of the databases to .xndb (the xnview.db) and .xnth (for the thumbs.db)

Of course, the proposed extensions are subject to discussion.

In any case do not leave them as .db

Reasoning:

In this way we can automatically search, recognize, open and register in OS as our file types.

A step forward for simpler catalog management, a step forward for multiple catalogs support.

PS: Besides of the DB creation script take care to change the extensions for the existing DBs and to change the INI/config settings to point to the correct file(s).
