Hello,

Please, could you add mime type for the Genie sources.

Any reasons the compiler can't ship its own XML file?

No answer in 2 years, closing.

This is mainly for syntax highlighters and development environments where the Vala compiler has not been installed. Genie is an alternative syntax for Vala so I think it was assumed text/x-genie would be handled in the same way as text/x-vala ( see https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12195 ). If it is better for the Vala compiler to carry its own XML of this mime-type then I will do that. Please confirm either way, thanks.

Also looks as though the original poster was trying to get this bug fixed ( https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=576141 ) at GtkSourceView

What's the policy with regard to source code formats? I'd like to make a similar proposal for Julia source files, so I wonder whether it would be accepted.

As long as there's a generic enough user behind it (eg. GtkSourceView), it would be fine.
