I have included a simple patch to stop geanypy falling over when it hits a problem with a python plugin it will also print out the exception error to help fix the issues :)

OSX build error: ld: unknown option: --export-dynamic
by Sean Felipe Wolfe 17 Jul '12

17 Jul '12

Sorry to be kind of spammy today. Just ran into what looks like a build error? I cloned the git repo, ran autogen.sh, and make is giving me this error: ------------- CC utils.o CC vte.o CXXLD geany ld: unknown option: --export-dynamic ------------- This is on osx Lion. Any suggestions? -- A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself. - Abraham Maslow

osx build problem
by Sean Felipe Wolfe 17 Jul '12

17 Jul '12

Hello all, I'm crunching through various issues attempting to compile geany on osx. I've been able to resolve a number of them, but glib is getting me all hot and bothered ... for what it's worth, I have xcode installed so maybe I should be using something from the xcode toolkit? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks! ---------------------------- sh-3.2# cd glib-2.28.8/ sh-3.2# make make all-recursive Making all in . make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all-am'.

Third party plugin publish and third party library bundle problem
by Hong Xu 16 Jul '12

16 Jul '12

Hi, I have developed the EditorConfig plugin for Geany <https://github.com/editorconfig/editorconfig-geany>. """ EditorConfig helps developers define and maintain consistent coding styles between different editors and IDEs. The EditorConfig project consists of *a file format* for defining coding styles and a collection of *text editor plugins* that enable editors to read the file format and adhere to defined styles. EditorConfig files are easily readibly and they work nicely with version control systems. Website here <http://editorconfig.org> """ However, I am confused how to publish this plugin. First, http://plugins.geany.org is a place for plugin list. But are the third party plugins allowed here? All the pages seem working for the plugins here: <https://github.com/geany/geany-plugins> including the download page, installation page. Whatever the answer is, can I put my plugin in <https://github.com/geany/geany-plugins> ? This repository seems better maintained than mine. The second problem is that, how should I bundle a third party C library with my plugin? Thank you! Hong

ANN: New GIT repository: infrastructure
by Enrico Tröger 15 Jul '12

15 Jul '12

Hey all, just for your interest: we have a new repository on Github called geany/infrastructure. It is meant to hold some scripts used on geany.org for various tasks. Nothing of wide public interest but maintained in a GIT repository for easier development and deployment. Last week Matthew and me worked on improving the script which announces GIT commits to the IRC channel and noticed once again, we should have the code in a repository and so we did. Commit mails for this repository are sent to the geany-commits mailing list for now as we don't expect any high volume commit rates in this repository (maybe except for the initial filling :D). Nothing amazing so far. Regards, Enrico -- Get my GPG key from http://www.uvena.de/pub.asc

Introduction
by Jacob Strohm 15 Jul '12

15 Jul '12

Hello all, I'm interested in beginning to contribute to Geany. I'm a freshman CS major and I often find myself with way too much free time and needing something productive to do. As I've enjoyed using Geany, its something I'd like to get involved in. However, open source (and projects in general written by more than 2 people) is new to me, so I'll probably take it slow for a while. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jacob

draggable tabs - current state?
by Sean Felipe Wolfe 14 Jul '12

14 Jul '12

I'd like to be able to have 2-3 columns of tabs and be able to drag + rearrange, something like Eclipse's draggable tab setup -- one of the few things I like about Eclipse. I assume this is non-trivial ... how horribly difficult would it be? I'm not very C or GTK experienced, but I got into Geany to learn more and it would be a fun contribution to work on and one day maybe finish? Haha. Happy Friday! -- A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself. - Abraham Maslow

by Frank Lanitz 12 Jul '12

12 Jul '12

Hi all, We are happy to announce the release of Geany Plugins 1.22 which is targeted to work with Geany 1.22. As major changes, two new plugins and one "old" plugin -- GeanyMiniScript, GeniusPaste, MultiTerm -- has been added to geany-plugins whereas default build of GeanyGDB with autotools has been deactivated. As usual, tarballs and their corresponding GPG signatures can be found at <http://plugins.geany.org/downloads.html>. Windows builds are not done by now, but will be uploaded to the download peges soon. A comprehensive list of changes can be found at <http://plugins.geany.org/geany-plugins/geany-plugins-1.22.NEWS>. Cheers, Frank

I'm pretty sure my last email didn't go through because I did not receive it, so I will resend it. If it did actually go through the first time, I am sorry for the duplicate.

Here's another idea I had last night. If there is no context menu for any item in the settings, that could be added for each item. If you change anything to where it'd be included in the project configuration and override the global settings, perhaps change the colour of the option's label or create some simple way of making this noticeable. Then, if the user wants to revert to the global settings, he/she could secondary click and select "Restore to Global Settings". This would allow full customization (you don't have to do it on a per-tab basis) and it's not very intrusive into the UI.

Usability fix - saving tab state
by Axel 11 Jul '12

11 Jul '12

Hi, I believe there is a usability flaw in Geany - opened documents' list is saved only if you exit the editor in 'traditional' way (by clicking exit button or so). It's completely lost, if the process's killed. This was irritating for me, as I tend not to close every program when shutting down, but rather push the 'shutdown' button and get them all killed - and get the list of opened documents lost. I believe I'm not the only one saving time on this, moreover, if your system hangs, you loose this list as well. Anyway, this wasn't hard to fix - just calling *configuration_save() *upon opening or closing a file. Operation itself seems to be cheap (although it's rewriting a config completely, as I see) - noticed no performance issues on my 1 GB RAM netbook. Sent you a pull request on GitHub.
