Hallo,

I would like to configure geany portable (PortableApps) to work with different Assemblers (x86, avr and two different 6502 crossassemblers). I wanted to create a first filetype '*.s'. One of the problems I have is that there are 6 locations for the file 'filetype_extensions.conf':

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 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.

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.
