Before submitting more commits and proposed code on GitHub, I think
I should share some of my ideas. Thus, I can submit better code and
avoid wasting Geany's GitHub-Team's time. (Sorry for the
inconveniences). Also, I will be sure to use the "ci skip" flag for
non-coded commits and pull-requests. In addition, I will provide
more detailed commit and pull-request messages in future code
contributions.<br>
<br>
I would like to add support for various file extensions. In ./data/<span
class="css-truncate css-truncate-target"><a
href="https://github.com/geany/geany/blob/master/data/filetype_extensions.conf"
class="js-directory-link js-navigation-open"
id="0417e2a8052c104fcc8602381022fd34-e2e2ab2aa9ad371231cd1358b34ea37a5986845c"
title="filetype_extensions.conf">filetype_extensions.conf</a>, I
would like to perform the below listed changes/additions.<br>
<br>
- Add "</span><span class="blob-code-inner">*.<span class="x
x-first x-last">dash" to "Sh="; Dash is a shell script similar
to Ash<br>
- Add "*.svg" to "XML="; SVG is a popular vector graphics file
using XML tags<br>
- Add "*.sqlite;*.sql3;" to "SQL="; I have seen such
file-extensions<br>
- Add "*.py3;*.py2;*.pygtk;*.pyqt;" to "Python="; Python is my
preferred and most used programming language, so I </span></span><span
class="blob-code-inner"><span class="x x-first x-last"><span
class="blob-code-inner"><span class="x x-first x-last">frequently
</span></span>see such file-extensions<br>
- Add "*.mhtml" to "HTML="; such a file-extension is sometimes
seen<br>
- Add "*.debdiff;*.dpatch;*.kpatch;" to "Diff="; I use Ubuntu (a
Debian-based Linux distro), so I see such Diff extensions<br>
- Add "*.configure;*.prop;control;" to "Conf="; Some config
files use such extensions, or the file itself is named "control"<br>
- Add a "README=" category and related file-name patterns; some
readme files are highlighted by Geany when they should not
contain highlighting<br>
- Add
"*.asm51;*.a51;*.asm;*.ll;*.s03;*.s79;*.s82;*.s90;*.s;*.S;" to
"ASM="; True, the various "*.s*" extensions could easily be
debated, but "*.a51" and "*.asm51" are a must (in my opinion);
Assembly code for the 8051 processor is supported by Geany, but
Geany does not recognize the file-extensions<br>
- Ensure consistent code by making every line end with a
semicolon; I do not know how you all feel about
code-consistency, but it is important to me<br>
- Add "*.mml;*.mathml;*.cml;" to </span></span><span
class="blob-code-inner"><span class="x x-first x-last"><span
class="blob-code-inner"><span class="x x-first x-last">"XML=";
</span></span>mml and mathml are MathML file-extensions; cml =
Chemical Markup Language<br>
<br>
What do you all think? Geany is my #1 preferred and favorite
IDE. I want it to be the best IDE ever. Why not make Geany
support more languages and file-extensions? Why not surpass
other IDEs in quality, features, and language support?<br>
<br>
How does the Geany team feel about adding file-extensions for
languages that Scintilla does not yet support? For instance, I
would like to add Manpages. True, it may seem odd to add such
unsupported extensions and languages. However, I see it as being
ready for when Scintilla gains support or providing a reason for
Scintilla to add support.<br>
<br>
</span></span>I intend on being a long-term and regular team
member (if that is okay with the team), so any tips are greatly
appreciated. Please do not hesitate to inform me if I am not
following the project's standards or guidelines. Also, please feel
free to share your concerns, suggestions, comments, etc. I will not
be offended (I promise).<br>
<br>
Once I learn more about the team's "culture", goals, project
rules/standards, etc., then I will submit actual C/C++ code and
improvements to the code.<br>
<br>
By the way, this mailing list uses "top-posting". Am I correct?<br>
