<div dir="ltr"><div><div>I appreciate the help, Lex. What I meant for the scanning was that it would happen twice, once to determine that, e.g. fold level 5 is actually fold level 2 and fold level 9 is actually fold level 3, and then again to do the actual folding. I think your outline of folding-as-you-go would probably work, too, and may, in fact, be better.<br>
<br></div>It would only scan when the user initiates the (un)fold all at level X action. Geany scans the whole file for the (un)fold all action already, and given that that doesn't take too long, I'm guessing that this wouldn't either. But I haven't tried it out yet.<br>

"Keeping count myself" throughout the entire file is basically the<br>
only idea I had come up with. I was thinking of something fairly<br>
simple like this:<br>
* User requested to fold level 2<br>
* Check document for HEADERFLAG's at fold level 1; found some; increment counter<br>
* Check level 2... none exist, level 3... none exist... (etc) found<br>
some at level 5<br>
* Counter now at 2, so fold all level 5<br>
<br>
Obviously this wouldn't scale too well for large files. But in my<br>
(limited) experience python files don't grow very large... </blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>wrong :)</div><div><br></div><div>If its put in Geany-Plugins you *will* get bug reports if its slow with big files. Remember you are maintaining it :)</div>
