In the process of setting up a new PC following a hard disk crash I have reinstalled IDE 2.3.3 which was the version previously used
Turning my attention to Auto Formatting, I put the previously used .clang-format file in the .arduinoIDE folder but it seems to be being ignored. When copied to the same folder as a small test sketch it is also ignored
I can't help feeling that I have missed something obvious, but I can't for the life of me see what. Before anyone asks, the file really is named .clang-format and hasn't gained a spurious .txt extension due to Windows propensity to hide extensions
The only thing that I can think of is that the new PC is using Windows 11 whereas the previous one used Windows 10
Bright ideas anyone ?
For the sake of completeness, here is the contents my .clang-format file
#default format originally from
#https://docs.arduino.cc/software/ide-v2/tutorials/ide-v2-customize-auto-formatter
