Bug ID: 360094
Summary: Follow Tools -> Highlighting to select parser, when
set by user.
Product: kdevelop
Version: 4.90.91
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
At present, the parser to use for a given file is chosen using only KDE's
mimetype database.
This can fail to detect a filetype, or select an incorrect one, and there's no
way for the user to override this.
The Tools -> Highlighting menu selects the language for KTextEditor's own
highlighting; it's set initially based on the autodetected mimetype but can be
overridden by the user.
If KDevelop followed this setting when choosing, it would provide the same
behaviour as now (I think?) except where the user explicitly set a different
mimetype which would presumably be more-correct.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open something with the wrong file-type autodetected.
(e.g. NML files as per https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=360081)
2. Watch KDevelop use the wrong parser on it, with no means to override.
3. Set Tools -> Highlighting to the correct file-type.
Actual Results:
KDevelop ignores the setting and continues to use the wrong parser.
Expected Results:
KDevelop follows the setting, and uses a different (correct) parser or none at
all.
