Bug

Installed 64-bit Windows version.
I am wanting to add new Highlighting option.

Need to added new Highlighting.

Hmm, your screenshot shows the config files.

That seems ok for me that they are located there.

The pre-shipped highlighting files are compiled into a resource, you can only provide own ones in the folder mentioned in the documentation, therefore normally, this folder should not exist per default. But you can create it and add stuff there.

If I misunderstand this report, please reopen!

Thanks.
