BaanC is detected as plain text about notepadpp-codestats

[p0358]

What's the file extension for this language? I could add it to language mapping directly for everyone.
Don't remember what's the current priority (will need to look into updating this plugin finally), but iirc it was also somehow taking N++'s syntax highlighting language into account. (EDIT: glancing at the code it uses that if it doesn't find a match in extension mapping file) The problem with that is that it supports significantly less languages.
I think what could also be considered is a switch on whether unknown language should be reported to backend as plaintext or directly via extension (which can then be mapped in backend to something else).
Can you clarify what do you mean in the last sentence? If it's file for mapping lexer-detected language into something else statically, then I don't think that's really a good idea. Unless you mean the custom language definitions.

Hi!

Thanks for your quick feedback.

BaanC uses sometimes .bc files, and sometimes files without file ending. This really sucks, but i can't change it - therefore I would recommend to change it by syntax hightlighting as i enable it anyway.

I mean the custom language definitions.

I mean the custom language definitions.
But by custom do you mean simply manually selecting language in toolbar -> Language, one of predefined ones? That would explain your quote in the first post:

editor.getLexerLanguage()
'baan'
Or do you mean custom user-defined languages? (toolbar -> Language -> Define your language...) It's also possible to support those.

As for lexer language not being used at all for detection, I've created issue #11

[p0358]

.bc to BaanC extension mapping was added as of 9f8c450

Detecting language based on selected lexer language rather than just extension is now supported in latest version as well.
