Hello, This week, I copied following text: <VERBATIM> Breakpoint 1, g_signal_handler_disconnect (instance=0x1cfa540, handler_id=2691) at /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.40.2/./gobject/gsignal.c:2580 2580 g_warning ("%s: instance '%p' has no handler with id '%lu'", G_STRLOC, instance, handler_id); (gdb) bt #0 g_signal_handler_disconnect (instance=0x1cfa540, handler_id=2691) at /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.40.2/./gobject/gsignal.c:2580 #1 0x00007f88079ad53d in gtk_notebook_remove_tab_label (page=0x1cf5370, page=0x1cf5370, notebook=<optimized out>) at /build/buildd/gtk+2.0-2.24.23/gtk/gtknotebook.c:4636 </VERBATIM> , in a Geany document, to open gtknotebook.c by using ctrl+shift+o with cursor is positioned into the gtknotebook.c file path. The file did not opened, but after a little while, I found what to change in Geany's code so that ctrl+shift+o opens the file. Is it a good idea that someone changes Geany so that Ctrl+Shift+o opens file paths like /build/buildd/gtk+2.0-2.24.23/gtk/gtknotebook.c ? Changing would be easy, just add a '+' in the string going into the editor_get_default_selection call in the on_menu_open_selected_file1_activate function from the callbacks.c Geany file. My local change: <VERBATIM> G_MODULE_EXPORT void on_menu_open_selected_file1_activate(GtkMenuItem *menuitem, gpointer user_data) { GeanyDocument *doc = document_get_current(); gchar *sel = NULL; const gchar *wc; #ifdef G_OS_WIN32 wc = GEANY_WORDCHARS "./-" "\\"; #else wc = GEANY_WORDCHARS "./-+"; #endif g_return_if_fail(doc != NULL); sel = editor_get_default_selection(doc->editor, TRUE, wc); ... </VERBATIM> Have a great day, Marius-Ioan Buzea

Move question from Scintilla list

Jiri, I have pasted the questions and Neils answers below with my comments and I'm sure others may have more info. > Jiří Techet: > > > I have a question regarding the use of SCI_COLOURISE. It is used in Geany at several places and it's call is rather expensive so I'd like to avoid it as much as possible. > > Most of the time all of the buffer you see should be styled automatically by Scintilla in a lazy way. That means that Scintilla does not normally style much beyond the portion currently visible. There are times when you want the whole file to be styled, such as when exporting the file as HTML/PDF/RTF. There may also be workarounds to problems in Scintilla and its possible some of these workarounds are no longer needed. > > > 1. After SCI_SETKEYWORDS - this basically happens after every keystroke because we colorize typenames using keywords (we've already talked about that if you remember). > > Possibly Geany wants the document styled up to some point immediately so it can use the style information. As best I can tell this one is extraneous, it would just change names from/to type colourising which AFAICT doesn't affect anything else, they are both code type styles etc. So long as the visible area is colorised by Scintilla so when a newly typed name matches a keyword it will highlight, then it doesn't look like doing it manually is useful. > > > 2. Immediately after SCI_SETTEXT when loading (or reloading) file. > > This may or may not be needed depending on Geany’s features. One reason for doing this is if you want to perform a global fold operation since folding depends on fold information and thus on styling. This one is more likely useful, since lots of features need to know the styles of things outside the visible area, for example to avoid considering characters in comments and strings when counting braces for scopes. > > > I tried to remove SCI_COLOURISE in all these cases and interestingly everything seems to work. In particular, I'm most interested in optimizing the case (1) above and after looking at the code, it seems that LexState::SetWordList() sets the Document::ModifiedAt() to 0 if something changes and in Editor::Paint() the document gets colored if needed. Am I right this case is already handled by Scintilla and doesn't require the explicit SCI_COLOURISE call? It of course depends on what features you use, you would have to check nearly everything. > > Its going to depend on when and how Geany uses style information. > > > Is the SCI_COLOURISE call needed in the other cases above (or maybe in other words, is there any Scintilla API call that requires SCI_COLOURISE to be called explicitly)? > > The application may need more text to be styled than Scintilla will perform automatically. For example, when performing brace matching and the corresponding brace is below the visible area then you may want to call SCI_COLOURISE over each line before checking it for braces. This sort of thing is used in several places in Geany, styles are used to avoid considering braces parens etc in strings and comments (see highlighting_is_code_style()). > > > Is it possible that Scintilla behaved differently in the past in this respect? This would explain the SCI_COLOURISE calls in Geany. > > This is why we have source control: go looking for changes in Geany involving SCI_COLOURISE and see why they occurred. I'm sure Colomban has a better understanding as well. Cheers Lex

String freeze of Geany core and Geany-Plugins for 1.25
by Frank Lanitz 23 Jun '15

23 Jun '15

Hi translators and friends of Geany, As by Colomban's mail we are only two weeks away from upcoming, new, amazing 1.25 release of Geany! It's scheduled for 2015-07-12. In prior of that we have to ensure, all translations of Geany and it's plugins are up to date and as complete as possible to get a great user experience using Geany. In preparation of that I've update po-files for Geany core as well as the geany-plugins project inside github repositories and asking you whether you could update translations, review them or maybe add new ones. I'd be very happy if you could send a patch, a pull request or single file with translation to either the geany-i18n mailing list or direct to me within the next two weeks so we can include it to the next release. Deadline will be 2015-07-11 CEST. To get most recent files you could just clone the repositories from Geany: https://github.com/geany/geany Geany-Plugins: https://github.com/geany/geany-plugins This can be done e.g. with git clone https://github.com/geany/geany.git or for the plugins git clone https://github.com/geany/geany-plugins.git Also at http://i18n.geany.org or http://i18n.geany.org/plugins for plugins are statistics and daily updated files available If your language was translated by two or more in past, please double check directly with them or by pinging me, so we don't need to translate same things two or three times. Also please feel to ping me for every question or if you like to start a new translation for an unsupported language. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ping me directly via IRC: geany @freenode Jabber/XMPP: frlan(a)jabber.ccc.de or via Mail: look above or some of the mailing lists. @Plugin Maintainer: Please don't add new strings by now as they most likely will be properly translated for next release. Thanks and happy translating Frank

Profiling Geany with gperftools
by Jiří Techet 19 Jun '15

19 Jun '15

Hi, as the ctags guys were interested how I profiled some performance issue in the Python parser, I thought it would be a good idea to write a wiki page about it because the outputs are very useful for locating various performance issues. I put it here: https://wiki.geany.org/howtos/profiling/gperftools Comments/suggestions are welcome. Cheers, Jiri

ANN: Geany 1.25 release schedule
by Colomban Wendling 19 Jun '15

19 Jun '15

Hi everyone! We finally planned the release of Geany 1.25! This release will include a lot of enhancements, including: * Improved MacOS X support (Jiří Techet). * Improved subprocess spawning, especially on Windows (Dimitar Zhekov). * Huge tag management performance improvement (Jiří Techet). * Show document-related dialogs embedded in the main window ("info bars") (Matthew Brush & Thomas Martitz). * Improved plugin manager dialog. * Scintilla 3.5.6, including many highlighting fixes and improvements. * More robust plugin API (Jiří Techet, Matthew Brush & Thomas Martitz). * And many more! See http://git.geany.org/geany/tree/NEWS Here is the schedule: Fri. 2015-06-19 (evening) String freeze (no more changes affecting translations) Frank will post an additional announcement. Sat. 2015-07-04 Feature freeze (only bugfixes) Sun. 2015-07-12 Release! In addition to the release, we decided to try and make time-based releases every 4 months or so, to release more often and (among other things) avoid 1+ year cycles like it was the case for 1.24 and 1.25. As a result, 1.26 will be due around 2015-11-15. Regards, Colomban

Msys2 to compile on win32
by Thomas Martitz 15 Jun '15

15 Jun '15

Hello, I've successfully managed to build Geany on MSYS2, against both gtk2 and gtk3. I've started to describe the steps on the wiki: https://wiki.geany.org/howtos/win32/msys2, however the page is not complete yet (but complete enough to produce a running geany). Short introduction, see the wiki page for more details: Msys2 is a successor to msys which offers a unix-like environment on Windows combined with a pacman-based package manager. It's purpose is to simplify win32 compilations, and it's doing great at that for GTK+ stack and related projects. In fact, it's so good it should become the default method of compiling Geany on Windows. See http://sourceforge.net/projects/msys2/ and http://msys2.github.io/ For me, as regular Arch Linux user, this is by far the most easiest method to compile Geany on Windows. And it has the *huge* advantage of providing up-to-date binaries of the GTK+ stack, in contrast to the obsolete gtk bundles. I heard the GTK guys plan on removing the bundles and instead rely solely on MSYS2 for all of their win32 efforts. Best regards

Blank completion popups on Windows
by Colomban Wendling 05 Jun '15

05 Jun '15

Hi everyone, I don't use my Windows VM very often, but I realized today that the completion popups were broken there during the 1.25 cycle [1]. Could everyone using a development version of Geany under Windows tell me whether it works for them or not, and their Windows and GTK versions? I myself tried on XP SP3 with GTK 2.24.10. I found a way to fix the issue, and although it doesn't make any sense, it seem to fix it reliably. Unfortunately it has a small side effect that completion popup will have a minimal height that might be taller than necessary when there is only one item in the list. But this cosmetic detail is probably less problematic than a blank popup, right? :) But I'd like to know if the problem happens to everyone or not, and whether the attached patch fixes the problem for everyone with the issue. Thanks in advance! Colomban [1] http://git.geany.org/geany/commit/?id=4d66bd3745eb3759539b116e7784d11d035eb…

Open Source Work At Geany
by Atal Akbari 03 Jun '15

03 Jun '15

Hi, my name Is Atal Akbari, I am a 3rd year Computer Science student at Ryerson University, currently looking for open source work in order to test my developing skills at a professional level. I choose Geany as my first open source project because I have previously used Geany and came across the development section while surfing through the website. In addition to this the C/C++ programming language is my strong suit and I am very interested in strengthening my C/C++ skill set. Thank you for the opportunity & looking forward to working with the team! , Atal Akbari
