Opening unmounted GIO URIs
by Colomban Wendling 04 Feb '12

04 Feb '12

Hey Nick, Matthew, Lex, Frank, Enrico, whoever cares, https://github.com/b4n/geany/commit/01fd682674286dada6d6b77d0e3064c89a28df64 I wrote this patch that adds automatic mounting of volumes needed to open a GIO URI, so one don't have to first mount the corresponding volume in Nautilus/whatever. This make opening arbitrary URIs from the CLI easier, though it's probably not needed when using a file manager (who would've already mounted the volume to browse it). I'm quite confident mounting the volume is a good idea in theory, but there is a small thing making it a bit tricky: GIO doesn't seem to provide a synchronous API to do that. So, it either requires the calling code to be asynchronous (which we don't have yet and that don't fit well with current code), or to hack around to make the asynchronous code look synchronous. I did the latter, and that's basically the reason why I post this mail: do you think it's too ugly, too useless, too something? Basically, points I see in a pros/cons: + allows to open URIs on unmounted volumes; + as a cause, makes Geany handle URIs more naturally; + mount is tried only as a last resort, so doesn't impact already working situations; - code is a bit hackish (the loop thing), though it works fine [1]; - may be slow if mounting the volume is slow (since it is synchronous); - may not be really useful in practice (since people probably open URI through the file manager, who will mount the volume). So... thoughts? Cheers, Colomban [1] only problem might be that idle/timeout callbacks (e.g. main loop sources) can still run during the mount -- though, I don't see why it'd be an actual problem for us

encoding combo boxes bug
by Nick Treleaven 27 Jan '12

27 Jan '12

Hi, I'm seeing wrong encoding names in the encoding combo boxes on the Files tab of the Prefs dialog. E.g. where it should say UTF-8 I see Hebrew. Another Glade-related bug? Nick

GIT commit mails format
by Enrico Tröger 25 Jan '12

25 Jan '12

Hey guys, right now, we use the stock email commit hook from Github and let it send commit mails to the geany-commits mailing list. However, compared to the old Subversion commit mails, they are quite different: First, they are not really commit mails but rather "push" mails, that is all commits which are transmitted within one push are combined into one mail instead of one mail per commit as it was previously. Secondly, the commit mails only include the commit message and a link to the commit diff at Github. I personally would prefer to have the diff included (also as before). So, I'm tempted to use something else for sending out commit mails. For example, the Xfce guys have a simple Shell script to do the job and it does it as I would wish: http://git.xfce.org/admin/xfce-git-hooks/tree/hooks/update-03-send-commit-m… An example mail: http://mail.xfce.org/pipermail/xfce4-commits/2011-October/023580.html What do you think?

SCSS (Sassy CSS) lexer support
by Ross McKay 18 Jan '12

18 Jan '12

G'day, I've hacked up some syntax highlighting support for SCSS[1] in a fork on github[2] and Neil at the Scintilla project has accepted it[3] So, how do I get this into Geany now? Obviously the Scintilla repo is ahead of the Geany version, however what I have in my Geany fork is compatible with Scintilla's current head (the lexer is identical and the .iface uses the same constants numbering). Should I submit a pull request, or is there another preferred way? cheers, Ross [1] http://sass-lang.com/ [2] https://github.com/webaware/geany/tree/css-scss [3] http://preview.tinyurl.com/6sdp8em -- Ross McKay, Toronto, NSW Australia "Faced with a choice between the survival of the planet and a new set of matching tableware, most people would choose the tableware" - George Monbiot

Whither goest CTRL-Q?
by Ross McKay 14 Jan '12

14 Jan '12

G'day, I pulled the latest from git late yesterday, and just noticed that CTRL-Q no longer binds to Quit. a) was this intentional? b) is there a way to put this back? (can't see it in key bindings) cheers, Ross -- Ross McKay, Toronto, NSW Australia "You can check out any time you like, But you can never leave" - Eagles

Fixing Glade File (was Re: Whither goest CTRL-Q?)
by Matthew Brush 14 Jan '12

14 Jan '12

Hi, For whatever reason in commit c85b89afdd880b7a6aac42f953bab83d3938a4a3 (fixing the project dialog), Glade removed the accelerators (and adjustments) from geany.glade. I'm looking for a clever way to fix this without having to manually edit the Glade XML, add the dropped stuff back manually, or revert and redo all my changes from that commit. Any hints/ideas? P.S. I tried just copying the whole XML block for the project notebook (where all my *intended* changes were) into the non-broken version just before that commit, and it worked somewhat, but there's been changes to this chunk of code in a later commit, so those don't work. Cheers, Matthew Brush
