Thanks Matthew, thanks Lex -
clearing the cache worked for the .conf files, but not for the .h files. Additionally renaming/removing /usr/share/geany/filetype_extensions.conf then made everything work. Should have tested the last measure by itself before, but did not do it. Anyways, it works now. Thanks a lot! -Paul

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++
Been using that for ages, works fine, Matthew is probably right clear the cache.
Cheers Lex
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
