Geany 1.36

the filedefs from the user folder never get loaded.

tested this.. open: Tools > Configuration Files > filetypes.common this file is stored in `Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\geany\filedefs` all lines start with `#~` file can be edited and saved, but no change in the UI, neither through reload nor restart.

when one digs into the application folder at `Program Files (x86)\Geany\data\filedefs` and changes file permissions so a user can edit them, then any change gets picked up by the program.

You removed the `#~` comments right? (<kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>a</kbd> then <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>e</kbd>)

Well, the `User config dir` shown there does not match where you posted the file is stored, so thats probably the problem.

i posted the respective actual folders inside the base folders. and even if the folder would be wrong (which i doubt) the GUI should open the correct file. as of now - it opens the intended correct file but that file never gets used. btw, same thing works fine on my linux machines.

BTW did you restart or `tools->reload configuration` after editing?

both. multiple times. in various combinations. with different settings applied, commented and uncommented. (for reference: worked ten years as beta-tester)

More of a work-around, but you could try to create/edit a colour scheme in your user directory, instead of changing `filetypes.common`. IIRC the Win32 installer comes with the option to install [geany-themes](https://github.com/geany/geany-themes) which includes a bunch themes, one of which you could use as a base for your own.

@grubernd just tested on Windows: works for me. I've got `C:\Users\enrico\AppData\Roaming\geany\filedefs\filetypes.c` with the following content: ```ini [styling] default=default comment=#FF5F5F commentline=#FF5F5F commentdoc=#FF5F5F preprocessorcomment=#FF5F5F preprocessorcommentdoc=#FF5F5F

[build-menu] EX_00_LB=_Execute EX_00_CM="./%e" EX_00_WD= FT_00_LB=_Compile FT_00_CM=C:\msys64\mingw32\bin\i686-w64-mingw32-gcc.exe -Wall -c "%f" FT_00_WD= FT_01_LB=_Build FT_01_CM=C:\msys64\mingw32\bin\i686-w64-mingw32-gcc.exe -Wall -o "%e" "%f" FT_01_WD= ``` (the styling settings are just for testing, the build settings are productive)

Which exact settings did you try to modify? Maybe it helps if you share the file?
