I have read http://www.geany.org/manual/#various-preferences and http://wiki.geany.org/howtos/configurebuildmenu . I am wanting to have additional entries in the build-menu besides the default amount provided. I have tried setting "number_ft_menu_items" to "7" in geany.conf and then adding the below code to filetypes.c.
```FT_03_LB=Splint FT_03_CM=splint -I. -hints -checks "%d/%f" FT_03_WD=```
I need more build-menu entries that I can configure. I have many syntax/code checkers, lint programs, and analyzers that are specific to various programming languages. Having three filetype-specific and four non-filetype-specific build-menu entries is not enough for me.

This is odd. Editing the files did not work (Yes, I did close Geany so that changes can take effect). However, if I change "number_ft_menu_items" via "Edit > Preferences > Various", the changes take effect and work. Although, why would editing geany.conf not work?

You didn't say which file you edited, but if its the standard user config file, not a project file, and you edited it with Geany, then Geany will overwrite the config file it when it is closed. But changing it in the menu writes it when its closed.
Thats why the user config doesn't appear in the tools->configuration files list, editing it in Geany doesn't work.

You might get lucky if you do `Tools->Reload Configuration` after editing and saving it.
