Definable extension list for the editor & purebasic extras

I had some oddball issues today; it was my own fault, but it got me thinking.
The PB editor saves "extra info" to the end of the file (yes, I know it can be configured to save it to a different file, but the suggestion remains the same...).
It would be nice to be able to define either a list of files TO do that for, or a list of extensions to NOT do that for.

For instance, I had a text file that I edited in PB; this text file was input for a number crunching program. The extra data at the end screwed up the formatted input (read it as invalid data) -- this extra info isn't needed for "non source code files".

Personally, I use pb, pbi, pbh, pbm as purebasic source files; so I can see either way define a list of exceptions or define a list for the extra info... (Like .txt, .dat, etc)
