Geany Dev Team:
Thanks again, Lex Trotman, for your feedback.
When I was referring to "packages" when discussing "filetypes_extension_extra.conf", I did not mean files like *.deb. I mean "package" as in a general file containing multiple files. In other words, I meant that Geany.org could have a Tarball available for download that contains additional file-extensions. True, I should have explained my idea more clearly.
Definitely something on the wiki.
I have not tested *.sed and *.awk, yet. Everything listed under "May Consider" are ideas I thought about, but have not yet coded or tested. I wanted to get the team's thoughts before I put time into testing and coding an idea that the team may consider a definite "no". Anything listed under "Will Add Soon", "Will Add", and similar headers are file-types I have either tested or I am currently using. So, to rephrase the question about *.sed and *.awk, if I were to find a parser and lexer that works, would *.sed and *.awk be considerable?
Well, to save you the search Scintilla has no lexer for either awk or sed so no highlighting. ctags has a parser for awk which would at least give you the symbol pane but nothing for sed.
But frankly, as much as I love dear little old awk, I just don't see the demand for it to be worth the effort and maintenance. These days people tend to use Python or Ruby or even <shudder> Perl to do stuff awk used to be used for.
Cheers Lex
As far as *.ii is concerned, I will wait until standards change or if Geany gains support for headers that may be C or C++ implicitly. (NOTE: For instance, *.h++ and *.hpp are explicitly C++ headers)
I will be sure to try to be more clear with my proposals.
