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

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.

Dear all,
Recently I've discovered Coverity, a code checking tool, and went
ahead and submitted the Geany code for static analysis by this
service:
https://scan.coverity.com/projects/1388
Coverity has uncovered ~55 implementation defects in the code
base, with 25 or so of high severity (memory corruption, resource
leaks, etc.) To view the defects, you need to connect with your Github
account (or create one with Coverity) and request 'Add me to project'
(which I shall then approve). Coverity provides overall metrics like
defect density (Geany scores an impressive 0.23), but also classifies
uncovered bugs by type and severity, and provides a nice UI trying to
explain to the devels the specifics of the bug and how to address it
(e.g. where it happens, why it's an issue, etc.)
This tool is being used by heavyweights like LibreOffice, the Linux
Kernel, Firefox or Python to improve the robustness of their code
base. I suspect that Coverity could prove invaluable when trying to
hunt down frustrating implementation issues causing obscure bugs.
In any case the identified bugs are now ready for inspection by the
devels, so feel free to drop by!
Regards,
Liviu

Do you think you know what math is?

I just started a plugin
<https://github.com/sblatnick/geany-plugins/tree/master/tab-utils/src>
to give some additional functionality to tabs. For now, it just adds a
"Close before" and "Close after" options instead of the "close
everything else" option. The thought occurred to me, this may be a
feature we would want to add to geany itself.
Personally, I'd rather have something like "close from here
before/after" or "close before/after" in place of "close everything
else", but there is no reason geany couldn't have both.
Another thought, is there a way to disable the full list of open tabs
from that context menu so my list isn't so long to get to the power options?
Should I implement this into geany and create a pull request? Or can
someone argue this really should remain in a plugin?
As an unrelated side note, I think we could add a toggle button type to
toolbar buttons and add a toggle for line wrapping. For now I'll just
continue to use the keyboard shortcut for this.
Thanks,
Steve
