Hi,
There are quite a few Issues/Pull Requests on Github about adding more
extensions to `filetype_extensions.conf` so various types of files are
detected/colourized/symbolized properly out of the box.
IMO, we need a policy/guidance on what is acceptable. The way I see it
there are a few ways we could handle it:
1) Add all filetype extensions possible as long as there's proof
somewhere they actually exist/are used.
2) Add only popular, generic ones, for example JSON or YAML or actual
programming languages supported by Geany.
3) Don't add anymore except when adding entirely new filetype support;
the `filetype_extensions.conf` file is user-editable precisely for this
reason.
I don't really have an opinion on this, but it would be helpful to have
some kind of consensus/policy on it, for the purposes of triaging Issues
and Pull Requests on Github.
Regards,
Matthew Brush
Hi All,
I would like to start actions in geany from inside a geany plugin?
E.g. start the Color Chooser as if it was selected from the geany tools
menu.
I tried to call the callback function directly but that gives an linker
error for geany plugins (just logical).
Can I fire/send an event/message to make it being started? How do I do that?
Best Regards,
Lars
