Slick crashes if I call createExtension with existing langid

[AGodfrey]

I am trying to automate my settings, but this one (associating 'cmd' file extensions with the 'bat' language) crashes SlickEdit. I don't mean a Slick-C stack, I mean the app crashes.
Any tips on what I'm doing wrong?

This code crashes 100% for me (SlickEdit Pro 2014 (v19.0.2.5 64-bit)):


#require "se/lang/api/ExtensionSettings.e"

using namespace se.lang.api;

defmain()
{
   ExtensionSettings.createExtension('cmd', 'bat');
}

Try using _CreateExtension instead of the language API.  The bug causing the crash will be fixed in the next release.

Code: [Select]

#include "slick.sh"

defmain()
{
   _CreateExtension("cmd", "bat");
}

Thanks, that works!

Which API is more "recommended"?
I only used the one I did because it's the first one I found (not realizing there are 2).

Either is fine.  The object-oriented API calls the other API under the hood anyway.
