Hello,
I have installed geany 0.19 (*) mainly to use the new Custom filetypes feature; but cannot have it work. Below what I did for an Oberon filetype:
In filetype_extensions.conf: added "Oberon=*.ob;".
Created a filetype.oberon file with settings adapted from filetype.pascal and the additional followong lines in the [settings] section: tag_parser="pascal" lexer_filetype="pascal"
(also tried without quotes)
- Created Oberon-specific data in menu Build/Set Build Commands.
Compilation works, which proves the filetype is taken into account; but syntax highlighting does not at all (all test remains in default style). Help/pointer welcome.
follow-up:
Still cannot have syntax highlighting (but can live with this issue for a while).
Another problem is that my compiler (obc) requires source files to have the extension '.m', and no way to change this. It seems geany associates '.*' with GNU Octave (can see this in the terminal when trying to run). Octave is not listed in filetype_extensions.conf, but '*.m' is associated there with Matlab. Strangely, my setting associating '*.m' with Oberon does not override the predefined association with Octave, even if I erase the entry about Matlab. How to workaround this issue?
