Whenever I open previous code it has lost all font colourization for all files except main.agk.
I can create new source files and they will be colourized correctly but any files that have been opened with the project are now fixed in monochrome. F1 help doesn't work on them either or any other code recognition/formatting.

Is this a known issue or have I set things up incorrectly?
does anyone know if there is a fix?

My Main.agk file - still nicely colourized:


My Inialise file - lost all formatting:

Try renaming the files to .agc instead of .agk
The proper extension for agk source files indeed is ".agc"

That worked, thanks

It highlights two issues with the IDE though.
1. When you add a new source file to a document, it doesn't offer you an extension. It really ought to force you to use .agc
2. When you rename a source file, you have to right click on it, select Remove From Project, the Open a file, right click on that and select Add to Current Project

It's a bit of a farce.
Selecting multiple files at once and adding them to (or removing them from) the project would be nicer. As would the option to open a source file and have it put in to the project without further clicks.
