[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Geany does pick up the correct filetype extension for syntax highlighting. (#1657)

[rovf]

Using Geany 1.30.1 on Windows 7:

In order to recognize files such as .irbrc or private_irbrc as a Ruby files when it comes to syntax highlighting, I have opened Tools/ConfigurationFiles/filetypes_configuration.conf and changed the line for the Ruby file extensions to

    Ruby=*.rb;*.rhtml;*.ruby;*.gemspec;Gemfile;rakefile;Rakefile;*irbrc;.irbrc;

However, the file .irbrc is still not considered as Ruby-File, but as file of type "Conf". Looking up the definition of the "Conf" file type, I find the line

    Conf=*.conf;*.ini;config;*rc;*.cfg;*.desktop;*.properties;

This doesn't make sense! The file name ".irbrc" obviously does *not* match any of the pattern in the "Conf" definition! Why is Geany picking up the wrong file type here?
