@toonarmycaptain what type of file ?

[toonarmycaptain]

It was a .py
I figured afterwards that it was probably since it was housed within a zip file at the time, when unzipped it worked fine.

I'd add that, particularly since other software will work with this (ie I can drag and drop files from zip archives into Word or Paint etc and they open), such functionality would be useful, as users could reasonably expect it to work. Even if the file opened as a 'new' script, rather than a saved/named one.

This was working before. We'll fix it in a future release.

@dalthviz, I think this only happens on Windows.

@ccordoba12 and @dalthviz I can reproduce it on master in Python 3.6.2 64bits, Qt 5.9.2, PyQt5 5.9.1 on Windows 7
