[Geany] filetype_extensions.conf not being read?

Hi,

on my setup, filetype_extensions.conf seems not to get honored.

An example: editing

~/.config/geany/filetype_extensions.conf

to hold

C++=*.cpp;*.cxx;*.c++;*.cc;*.c;*.h;*.hpp;*.hxx;*.h++;*.hh;*.C;*.H;*.conf; Conf=*.ini;config;*rc;*.cfg;*.desktop;

, that is, moving the *.conf from Conf to C++, does not result in .conf files be treated as C++ files. This is only for illustration, my actual problem is that I want my .h files to be recognized as C++ rather than pure C, and then I discovered that nothing in filetype_extensions.conf seems to get read/honored.

Funnily enough, copying filetype_extensions.conf to the subdirectory ~/.config/geany/filedefs results in that file itself being now recognized as a C++ file. However, no other .conf files are, and it also does not work if I move a .h file in that folder with .h only declared as belonging to C++ (not C or Objective-C), for example.

Any ideas what else to try / how to debug? I've restarted geany.

Thanks! -Paul
