[Github-comments] [geany/geany] YAML cannot be overridden (#2205)

[JanAxelsson]

That was an impressively fast reply!

Can you explain to me why the YAML format remains in the menu, even when I commented it out in the built-in filetype_extensions.conf?  This was one reason I suspected some other hardcoded mechanism I can’t override

Then, they are currently (this is NOT something to rely one!) matched alphabetically, so the first occurrence wins, and it happens that YAML sorts before YML. So if you just add the extensions to YML but don't remove them from YAML, the YAML match still wins.
> Arguably the user's file maybe should be tried first, and the system one only if the user's one didn't match, but for now it's not the case, and you should then make sure to unmap the extensions you want to reuse. It should be as easy as re-defining the offending line for it not to include these extensions.
