Dennis,

I wanted to write that thats something I still got to look into, until I
kicked myself as its something I could do /now/.   Nope, I do not see option
by mentioning anything about hidden files or folders.

A quick google further I found this though (there is a space between the "*"
and "."):

grep -r search * .*

Which, in retrospect(!), seems obvious - didn't quite expect it to be valid
for folders too though, but as the person posting it mentioned "a directory
is also a file".

> As I believe I had mentioned 

:-) You did, which I only realized after I had made my post.  My defense is
that it was not something I took much notice of, as at that time I could not
find the file its relevant for.

So do I, though I suspect that it will look at the generated cache file
instead of the seperate .desktop ones.

Yup, thought about that too.   I'm currently dubbing if leafpad (the "Text
editor") will suit my normal textfile requirements, and just remove Geany's
.desktop "mime-type= " reference to it.   The same as I've already done for
"LibreOffice writer" (I /really/ wanted, for script or other simple
(code)textfiles, to get rid of that one).

Thats the other possibility, making python sourcefiles their own class.

Hmmm.. Maybe I'll even do both.
