As I said above, Geany only detects a filetype the first time a file is opened, it will not change the filetype of a file once its open because:
1. that would prevent the user from choosing a filetype manually, and 2. could result in unwanted changes of filetype if a user accidently modified the string that identified the filetype. So it is not searching for identifying strings whilst editing is in progress, so typing one won't set a filetype. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
