Make workspace (project) & session xml setting files consistent while their file extensions are defined in Preferences dialog:
1. If I specify a session file in the command line (, or if I double-click a session file in the Explorer), not the session file itself is opened, but the session stored in it.
2. If I specify a workspace file in the command line (, or if I double-click a workspace file in the Explorer), not the workspace file itself is opened, but the Project Panel 1 switches to the specified workspace file.
3. If I specify a session file in the `File` menu `Open Ctrl-O`, not the session file itself is opened, but the session stored in it.
4. If I specify a workspace file in the `File` menu `Open Ctrl-O`, not the workspace file itself is opened, but the Project Panel 1 switches to the specified workspace file.
5. If I drag a session file to Npp, not the session file itself is opened, but the session stored in it.
6. If I drag a workspace file to Npp, not the workspace file itself is opened, but the Project Panel 1 switches to the specified workspace file.
That means that once an user extension is defined for these 2 types of file, Notepad++ stores only the session or the workspace but not opens the file itself. The session and workspace setting files are not supposed to be edited manually.
If a defined conflict happens (for example, a non session or workspace setting file with the defined extension), user can always remove the defined extension from Preferences dialog temporarily to open it.

Btw, ``<replace-in-files-confirm-filetype value="For file type :"/>`` is that file type means like ``txt`` or ``type this``?
1. Add file extension automatically while changing file type via combobox in new style dialog.
2. Add file extension automatically for session files and workspace files while saving in new style dialog.
