I've recently updated Geany from 1.29 to 1.30.1 through the unofficial ppa https://launchpad.net/%7Egeany-dev/+archive/ubuntu/ppa, Geany seems to be updated correctly but the filetypes configuration files located in ~/.config/geany/filedefs haven't got updated whereas /usr/share/geany/filedefs has.
How can I get my local user config files updated as well when updating Geany? Is there any automatic way?
Short answer: I'm afraid you have to do it on your own.
A little --verbose: Geany stores custom configuration inside ~/.config/geany. In case of filedefs this typically includes changed commands for a particular programming language. Due to this fact, these files are not updated to keep user's changes.
Which configuration in detail did you expect to be updated?
