Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gedit
I was writing a few plugins for gedit using the python bindings and I
found some incorrect behaviour with the 'saving' signal generated by
Gedit Documents
In particular, I was trying to extract the language id of the document
at the time it was being saved, and this information was unavailable.
However, if the file has already been saved, gedit correctly reports the
language id, the reason for this behaviour is that on new files gedit
has no way of knowing what language is being used, however when you save
a file to harddisk gedit uses the filename extension (since this works
even for empty files) to determine the file type and therefore the
language. This information should be available when the saving signal is
generated, since the filename is known before the file is actually
written to disk.
i could add a parser to retreive the language from the filename my self,
but this would probably duplicate work since gedit must have a way to
determine that already.
