[Geany-Devel] Problems calling ui_update_statusbar from a plugin

[Abel]

And why is not such function in the API? It's very used across all the
geany code and there's no reason to think a plugin wouldn't ever want to
use it.

I want to display the document statistics of the document opened on split
window when it gets the focus. ui_set_statusbar() let you display text but
doesn't give you access to create_statusbar_statistics() neither to
DEFAULT_STATUSBAR_TEMPLATE.

Saludos,
