Description gate02 2002-06-20 08:19:07 UTC

(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           kate
Version:           KDE 3.0.1 
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    Solaris Packages
Compiler:          GCC 3.1
OS:                Solaris
OS/Compiler notes: KDE taken from Eva's packages of ftp.kde.org

Open a file in Kate with a name ending in .C or .H and its highlighting mode is set to C not C++.  Under Configuration/Highlighting there is:

C highlighting:
  Extensions:  *.h;*.c
  Mime Types:  text/x-chdr;text/x-csrc

C++ highlighting:
  Extensions:  *.hh;*.H;*.cpp;*.cxx;*.cc;*.C
  Mime Types:  text/x-c++hdr;text/x-c++src

With the highlighting as set above I would expect .C and .H files to be highlit as C++.

we test the stuff caseinsensitive, therefor first match will win

Christoph:

I find your answer utterly amazing.  KDE currently runs on Linux and various 
flavours of Unix.  All of these have native file systems that do not perform 
case-folding on file names.  Nevertheless, you *do* perform case folding on 
file names when determining MIME type, even though this does not model the 
reality correctly.

It is analogous to saying that this function that I've written works on the 
absolute values of its numerical arguments, and that is why it doesn't work 
as the users expect, and that is alright !

Very strange . . .

(None of the above should be taken as meaning that I am not grateful for the 
remarkable and generally excellent system that is KDE;  I do however as you 
to reconsider your decision in this matter)

If this bug isn't fixed yet, please fix it.  If you test the extensions case-insensitively, then ***that*** is the bug.

in the mean time it has settled over to case-sensitive comparisons
