Geany-Plugins: Windows test build for 1.22 available
by Enrico Tröger 28 Jun '15

28 Jun '15

Hi all, I just made a test build of Geany Plugins 1.22 for Windows. A little surprisingly for me, it all worked fine on the first attempt :). I only had problems loading the Geany-Lua plugin with some strange error message which I didn't investigate yet: http://pastebin.geany.org/EUmwJ/ The error message occurs on plugin loading. I'm not sure whether it is caused by my system or something else. If anyone wants to test it, any feedback is appreciated. The installer... http://www.uvena.de/tmp/geany-plugins-1.22_setup_testbuild.exe ... requires an existing Geany 1.22 installation. Regards, Enrico -- Get my GPG key from http://www.uvena.de/pub.asc

Wish for Wishlist and bug in Homepage
by theUser BL 11 Mar '15

11 Mar '15

I want to say, that it would be nice, if a DocumentMap/MiniMap would be added to Geany. Please add it to the Wishlist on your side. Notepad++ have something called "Document Map": http://notepad-plus-plus.org/assets/images/docMap.png Sublime Text have something called "MiniMap": http://www.sublimetext.com/screenshots/new_theme_large.png Since some time, Kate have a MiniMap, too: http://kate-editor.org/2012/11/03/busy-katekdevelop-sprint-results-in-mini-… All three have a line, where with very small fonts a bigger part of the document is shown and the current visible part of the Textarea have a colored background in the map. But they differ in additional functionality of it. Where Sublime Text only shows the MiniMap, Kate on the other side, can replace the scrollbar with it. And on Notepad++ it is a mix between the two. The scrollbar is still there, but you can click in parts of the Document Map, to jump to that position. An additional point I want to mention, is a bug in your Webside-software. As I wanted to add this wish to the wishlist, I clicked at the bottom of the page on "edit this page" of the line "(If you have another idea/wish which should be listed here, edit this page)". Then it asks for a username and password. Because I don't have an account for it, and I find no place to register, I have somewhat input. After that it shows be an empty page and Geany.org was no longer available. I thought, it would be an coincidental/hazard/fortuity/hap, that that happens. But now there was again Geany.org reachable, then I tried it again. And again the Geany-side was after that down. :-( So please update your Geany homepage software. Or it is really a very big coincidental/hazard/fortuity/hap, that in two times the Geany side goes in that time down, I tried to login there. Greatings theuserbl

Linkage-Cleanup Build System Breakage
by Matthew Brush 18 Jan '15

18 Jan '15

Hi All, and especially build system maintainers :) I have made a pull request[0] to cleanup the symbol exports of Geany. The PR description pretty much covers the details. If I merge this, it's going to break the makefile.win32 files, Waf and possibly the Win32 Nightly builds. I can probably fix-up the makefile.win32 files if nobody else will as it's just plain GNU make and should be similar changes as the Autotools. It will require a couple more *nix utilities, namely `sed`, `sort`, and `uniq` (or a `sort` that supports the `-u` option). A quick search finds sed[1] and coreutils[2] which contains `sort` (probably with -u option) and `uniq`. I assume MSYS also includes these common utils. I don't really know enough about Waf to fix it. Since it needs Python anyway, we could just use one of its XML libraries to grab the names from the GtkBuilder file, and do the replacements using its text-handling functions. It wouldn't require sed/sort utils. I originally had a Python script[3] doing this, but I'm just not sure how to integrate that code into Waf. If the Win32 Nightlies break it will most likely be trivial changes to the Makefile.ams. I don't have an environment like it uses to test. Geany-Plugins Autotools should be fine since it will pickup the new library from the pkg-config flags. There's a couple bugs in some (of my) plugins where it misses the needed linker flags which are trivial to fix. I don't know if Waf uses pkg-config or what, but if not, it will need to add the equivalent of something like `-L/geanys/lib/dir -lgeany` to be able to find and link to the new library. Is everyone OK if this PR was merged to master and we had to fix up some build system stuff? Alternatively, I could also add anyone for push rights on my geany fork or push it to a branch on main geany repo if we wanted to sort-out the integration issues before merging to the main master branch.

Windows installer snapshots with GTK 2.24
by Enrico Tröger 04 Jan '15

04 Jan '15

Hi, I've built new Windows installers from current GIT master against a GTK 2.24 development environment and the GTK 2.24 runtime environment is also included in the full installer. This is a preparation step for future releases which should be shipped with a recent GTK runtime on Windows. Downloads can be found here: http://download.geany.org/snapshots/ Please note that these are test builds from the current development version, don't expect release quality. You have been warned :). But after you installed the snapshots, you can also use the nightly builds again on Windows (i.e. copy the archive contents over the installation). I noticed two issues so far which I have not yet debugged yet: - auto completion popup is rendered incorrectly - some icons are missing/not displayed correctly Screenshots for both issues are attached. The icon problem seems to be somewhat related to g_themed_icon_new() but I'm not yet sure. I just had a quick look at the code. @Lex: somewhere you said you used Geany with the GTK 2.24 runtime in the past. Did you notice the icon problem?

SourceFarce
by Matthew Brush 18 Dec '14

18 Dec '14

Hi, Just wanted to let everyone know, I deleted my Source Forge account after like 20 times of losing my comments. This final time it was a detailed C++ explanation on Scintilla's bug tracker that took a lot of thought and effort to write, which as usual I lost due to forgetting how crappy Source Forge login and bug tracking software is. I'm sure nobody really cares, but if there's some Geany bug/feature/patch posted there that anyone thinks I should look at, you'll have to forward me the details. I won't ever use SF.net again (actually blocked whole domain in my /etc/hosts), and won't be contributing anything to any project's bug trackers there. In the meantime, Geany's Github bug tracker is active since a while (though not for Geany-Plugins), so I'll be sure to continue monitoring and contributing to that tracker, and of course the mailing lists. Cheers, Matthew Brush

suggestion: Renaming GProject to ProjectTree
by Jiří Techet 18 Dec '14

18 Dec '14

Hi, I've just pushed quite a few changes to my GProject plugin (unfortunately in a single commit because I was making these changes while working on the tag manager and it was too painful to rebase multiple commits every time I changed the Geany API). If there are some problems, please let me know. Before announcing the changes on the users mailing list, there's one more change I'd like to make - make the plugin name a little more descriptive so it's easier to find by users who are looking for a plugin which displays a file tree in the sidebar. For this reason I'd like to rename the plugin to ProjectTree. Please let me know if you have a better idea for the plugin name or if you think renaming the plugin isn't a good idea. Thanks, Jiri
