Have you ever noticed that software is never advertised using the adjective "spreadable".

Re: IDE Project Tree "Configuration" folder
I think it's for highlight files.
gb.highlight now supports your own highlight definition files that can be a part of your project and do not have to be a part of gambas (unlike when i made the sh highlight)
This was the commit https://gitlab.com/gambas/gambas/-/comm ... 0873c96a64
So i think any highlighting files found in the configuration folder become modes you can choose in the IDE for project data folders.
You can right click a folder (not a gambas one but one with content in it) in the project browser and go to the properties tab, then select a highlight def to use on ALL files in that folder regardless of their ext name.

If at first you don't succeed , try doing something differently.

Thanks. Humph. It should be better called Highlighters then. I had high hopes it was about .conf files. Damn and bah.
