Hallo Matthew,
GeanyPortable\App\DefaultData\Settings\filedefs GeanyPortable\App\DefaultData\Settings\tags GeanyPortable\App\Geany\data GeanyPortable\Data\Data\Settings GeanyPortable\Data\Data\Settings\filedefs GeanyPortable\Data\Data\Settings\tags
I don't know what they are for.
They aren't part of Geany either, but presumably it's one of the `filedefs` directories since that's what you're asking about.
I guess one is the default and one is a user settings directory. But why 6. What are the tags subdirs?
It's explained pretty well in the user manual, but `tags` subdirectory is unsurprisingly for CTags files that Geany uses for symbols tree and auto-completion.
I have edited the 4. and 5. of them and included a line: S=*.s;
I also have created a file
GeanyPortable\Data\settings\filedefs\filetypes.s
and copyed this to
GeanyPortable\Data\settings\filedefs\filetypes.s.conf
You definitively don't need both. You want a file called `filetypes.S.conf` (notice upper case S - it's important). You need to put that into whatever directory the portable version finds filedefs from.
In Windows the upper- and lower case names are identical!
Maybe to Windows, but I'm not sure if some program is listing the directory and parsing the capital `S` out of the file name to match it with the capital `S` inside filetype_extensions.conf.
but neither the syntax highlighter nor the build command is recogniced.
If I try to use the menu to configure the build commands, these commands get saved in the file
GeanyPortable\Data\settings\filedefs\filetypes.common not in filetypes.s.conf
I have tried these try and error game for two hours now. Can anybody please explain what the six directorys are for and what exactly is to do to configure geany for a new extension.
It would easier to troubleshoot if you attached/pastebinned the actual file you're trying which is giving problems.
Ok, say a file 'test.s'
LDA #0 RTS
I have all 6 dirs populated with the same filetype.s.conf but it is not found.
Please pastebin the actual file you are trying, it's impossible to test it otherwise. Without seeing the file to know if it's wrong or not, I still suspect it's the lower-case `s` in the filename.
