In the IDE these days there is a folder in the project tree called "Configuration"  can someone please tell me what its for?

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  Add a project configuration folder. Allow custom highlighting from... (3484a2c7) · Commits · Gambas / gambas · GitLab

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.

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