What changed in GDR files in GeoDict 2023 compared to earlier versions?

[wiegmann]

1. Viewing GDR (GeoDict Result) files in notepad++ used to work best with the XML setting.
    Since I moved to GeoDict 2023, that does not work anymore, the syntax seems to have changed a lot.
    How do I view GDR files with fold and unfold capability again, as I was used to?

Thank you,
Andreas

Hello Andreas,
for GeoDict 2023 we changed the syntax for those files to YAML, but to make sure that it has a good usability we chose a Python compatible variant.
This means you can set your text editor both to Python and YAML and will give your used highliting and collapsability behaviour.
Cheers,
Aaron

Hi Aaron

Thank you for your quick reply!

Setting the .gad and .gdr file types in notepad++ Settings, Style Configurator, Python
does not seem to work for me?! Setting to YAML does work, but I would prefer the python highlighting.
Manually setting to python works, but I'd like any .gdr file to automatically start with syntax highlighting.

Kind regards,
Andreas

Hello Andreas,

for setting the language for gdr by default to python you need to go to "Settings" -> "Style Configurator" and select python and enter the extentions under "User ext. :".
And also click "Save & Close" as in this image:
