My SDL files are being saved as C source files.... not c++

I recently learned the basics of C++ and am moving onto SDL for graphics. I wrote the basic program, and just noticed that the icon for my file is listed as C. Not C++. Is this a problem? I never learned C, everythings going well so I dont know. :stuck_out_tongue: I open an empty project and yeah… just do stuff? How can I switch to C++?

That’s just your file manager (or whatever it’s called on your OS) that
doesn’t know about C++, or doesn’t care to make the distinction.

They’re all just text files anyway, so it doesn’t really matter, unless you
absolutely want the file manager/desktop/whatever to open C and C++ files
using different applications. As long as you’re just using the files with
development tools in the usual way, you don’t need to care about this. :-)On Monday 27 December 2010, at 08.26.54, “Soap360” <adam_burn at hotmail.com> wrote:
