Review: Good - script works

§
Posted: 03 Juli 2026

First of all, thank you for maintaining Linkify Plus Plus. I've been using it for a long time and it's one of the best linkification scripts available.

I'd like to request a feature to exclude certain filename extensions from being automatically linkified.

Since many new TLDs now exist (such as .sh, .dev, .app, .zip, .mov, etc.), the script sometimes interprets filenames as domain names.

For example, on GitHub:

```
epg.sh
build.ps1
channels.xml
config.json
```

epg.sh is currently converted into a clickable link because .sh is a valid TLD, even though in this context it is clearly a shell script filename.

It would be very useful to have a configuration option (or custom blacklist rule) to ignore specific extensions or filename patterns.

For example:
```
sh
ps1
bat
cmd
xml
json
yml
yaml
ini
conf
txt
log
gz
```
or even a custom regular expression that is evaluated before linkification.

This would allow users to keep linkification enabled on sites like GitHub while avoiding false positives for common filenames.

Thanks for considering this feature.
