Allow a .ini file instead of "propath" array

It could be easier point a INI file instead of copying all of its entries to "propath" array of .openedge.json

What do you use your ini file for ? Only Propath ? Could you provide a sample file so I can test few things ? Thank you

  1. .ini file contains font definitions, including default font. Syntax checks can fail if the default fonts (in progress.ini) are the only ones available to the AVM.
  2. For correct syntax checking of .w files, should use prowin.exe not _progres.exe

Since it is not allowed to specify -ininame in a .pf file, and there is no general command line parameters option in .openedge.json, there is no way to specify a .ini file.

New version of this plugin will allow INI file declaration so that the right fonts / colors can be used. Propath has to stay in the JSON config file though.
