Hi,

I'm trying to add my own syntax highlighting file on Kate for Win
23.04.0 but can't seem to find the folder to put it in. It should be
$HOME/.local/share/katepart5/syntax/ on linux, but don't know where is
it on Win.
Tried under C:\Users\username but there is no kate or .local folder.
I found:

C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\KDEe.V.Kate_7vt06qxq7ptv8
but no folders there, just kate.exe

C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Packages\KDEe.V.Kate_7vt06qxq7ptv8,
that contains a directory structure, but no katepart or syntax
directory:
d----- 22.02.2022. 20:47 AC
d----- 21.10.2020. 09:16 AppData
d----- 22.02.2022. 20:47 LocalCache
d----- 21.10.2020. 09:16 LocalState
d----- 21.10.2020. 09:16 RoamingState
d----- 22.02.2022. 20:47 Settings
d----- 22.02.2022. 12:59 SystemAppData
d----- 21.10.2020. 09:16 TempState

The folders are mostly empty, just a few .dat files.

Can anyone help, I'm not sure if this is a good place to ask?
And please include me in CC.

Thank you.

Regards,
Spiro
