Hello everyone, I'm using an unusual language at work called NesC, it's a C-based, event-driven language for micro-controller programming.
Some months ago I made everything necessary to have syntax highlighting for this language in Geany and it worked. But sadly I lost the changes in a hard-drive crash, and now I'm trying to re-add this syntax highlighting.
Anyway I'm having some trouble adding this filetype using the Cpp Lexer. I figured out that there is no --generate-data-files option anymore and that I had to edit the filetype_extension.conf. But I don't have syntax highlighting, not only for NesC, but for all languages supported by geany. I'm using the current development version, and it seems there is a bug since when I revert my changes and compile, I can't get the syntax highlighting.
Since I'm not an active geany developper and that I don't know the code perfectly, I'm asking you for advices.
Thanks, Yannis Mazzer

Are you running latest SVN? I recently added some limited code for color scheme files, there was an issue where if the color scheme selected had been deleted the user would have to choose Default again. But that should be fixed in latest SVN.
