Description

Opening files without extensions shouldn't open the "Open with" dialog. It is the case, but you need to restart the app.

Steps to reproduce

Create a file without extension
Open the file - the "Open with" dialog opens (incorrect behavior)
Close the app
Open the app
Open the file again - the "Open with" dialog doesn't open (correct behavior)

I would say it's correct to ask to select which app to open with. Just like most other file managers do it for extensionless or unknown mime typed files.

Mime Type is not always clear/extractable and without a hint by file extension it is not always clear whats in the box. Hence good to ask about opening in what app.

Most files without extensions are text files. Markor is a text editor, so it's reasonable to treat the file as one.

I ran into this, so I looked at the Settings. Under

Settings > General > Always open with this app

I read that:

Use 'None,.html,.css,.js' for example if you want to edit web files *and those without file extension.*

So I tried entering "None" and "none" but was still prompted after restarting the app.

I keep personal notes in plain text without a .txt extension and it would be great if this functionality works as documented.

Thanks!
