Stefan Schwendeler implemented the directory properties feature
discussed in January. A single SciTEDirectory.properties file sets
options for the directory it is in and its subdirectories. A
simplified version of his code can be downloaded from

http://scintilla.sourceforge.net/scite.zip Source
http://scintilla.sourceforge.net/wscite.zip Windows executable

  To use this feature, it must first be turned on with
properties.directory.enable=1 (should probably be renamed to
properties.directory for consistency). Whenever a file is opened or
switched to, directory properties are read as well as local
properties. The directory properties file is called
SciTEDirectory.properties and is opened from the same directory as the
file being opened or switched to. If there is no
SciTEDirectory.properties file in that directory then the parent
directory is checked and so forth up the path until
SciTEDirectory.properties is found or the root is reached.

  I found the behaviour a little strange. If there is no active
directory properties file then the Open Directory Options File command
opens one in the same directory as the current file. This is the most
obvious behaviour but I normally expect that the file will go into a
parent directory.

  The code is not committed to CVS yet as I'm not certain about it.
