folks.<br>
<br>
I took a look through the plugin wishlist recently, and it
seems to me that a fair number of them could be solved
quickly and easily using Lua scripting. Advanced
interaction with Geany's chrome is out, but for text
wrangling and integration with external tools, Lua scripts
are effective, and they're extremely quick and easy to do.<br>
<br>
I'm going to upload a 'delete duplicate lines' script to
the Geany wiki soon, and then I plan to take a look at
jumping to external functions in files that aren't open.
FTP integration might be feasible too.<br>
<br>
I could use GeanyPy, I suppose, and it's capable of more
advanced stuff, but it's not available as a precompiled
package, and the build process wanted to install over
100MB of python-dev dependencies...not really keen, nor
would I want to impose that burden on end-users. I'll just
pick the low-hanging fruit with Lua.<br>

<div style="">Hi,</div>

<div style="">Before you get too carried away, are you aware
that the Lua plugin is orphaned and will be removed in the
next release unless someone becomes maintainer?</div>
<div style=""><br>
</div>
<div style="">Perhaps you should organise that first, if you
want to be maintainer yourself then you need reasonable C
skills and the time and interest to keep the plugin up to
date, for example it currently does not work with GTK3.
(I don't know how much is involved in that).</div>

As I noted in the other thread, I still disagree that a plugin that
seems to be working fine for a number of users should be removed
from the release (until a severe bug occurs).<br>

Best regards<br>
