BTW, it sure would be nice if Scintilla itself could parse the
properties file entries... :)
Which format? SciTE one? Lua table? Separated by coma, tabs,
semi-colons, line-feed, NULL?
We should not put rigid format in Scintilla if avoidable.
And seriously, is there any reason why Scintilla couldn't just be told
the name of a properties file (possibly as an additional param to
the above calls), and then follow its usual directory search order and
load the thing itself?
Two reasons:
- The one invoqued above: Scintilla isn't SciTE, and should not be bound
to its file formats.
- Scintilla has avoided so far to do any file operation, which is a good
thing I think: it reduces the coupling with OS, improves the
portability, and it allows more flexibility in the file formats.
