So, when geany opens them, they are using the fileType:None, which I assume gets it's colors from the filetypes.common? It seems though that I can't seem to make any changes that affect my log file. The colors are always the default (all text black over white). I'd love to at least have some simple lexer installed so numbers and strings are color coded or even define a few keywords to hilite. Is there a way to specify a lexer for the None filetype?
No (unless you want to do lots of C coding, in which case you can do
anything :)
As a second somewhat related question. I have the lua plugin loaded and
my logs are always in a certain folder. Is it possible to set the fileType using lua and the open event? I couldn't find the command in the lua geany docs.
It doesn't seem so.
To identify the file you could either:
- write a script to give the logs an extension and add that to
filetypes.extensions, eg .fred, or
- if something unique appears in the first few lines of the log file
modify the filetype extraction regex to get a "filetype", eg if "fred bloggs loggs" appears in the file use "(fred) bloggs loggs" as the regex to get filetype "fred"
Now you have a filetype you can write a custom filetype based on an
existing filetype and lexer that works "well enough", see the manual.

Thanks! Jake

Thanks for the reply! It looks like option 2 might be my best bet as the logs do have a pretty unique first line. I'll check the docs for that regex for the filetype. Thanks again!
