Hello World,
I'd like to see syntax highlighting for the following files in geany:
* ChangeLog For all systems * .bat For Windows version
Question for Windows version: Did you change something in the file changed detection function? It used to be quite fast (in version 0.11), but since 0.12 it needs seconds to minutes until it notices that the file has changed. Is there something different?
Best regards Andreas

Hi,
- ChangeLog
For all systems
I don't think this is necessary. It would require someone to write a Scintilla lexer for ChangeLog files. And as far as I know, there is no common ChangeLog format, there is the Gnu ChangeLog format[1] but there are many other formats for ChangeLogs out there.
As a workaround you can open a ChangeLog as a Makefile which would at least highlight lines containing a ':'. Nick and me are doing this ;-). Oh, the symbol list would list wrong symbols because it assumes the file as a Makefile, please don't report this as a bug ;-).
- .bat
For Windows version
Ok, maybe I'll add support for Windows batch files but I won't add it exclusively to Windows(it's just easier to add it generally without any #ifdef code for Windows and so the chances of new bugs are lower ;-))

No. The code didn't changed for a long time. I didn't noticed this but to be honest I use Geany on Windows(i.e. I use Windows at all) only for testing new features in Geany and for creating Windows binaries. Anyone else noticing this behaviour?
