Github Comment Mails
by Matthew Brush 04 Sep '15

Hi, Is it possible to make an archived mailing list which can contain threads of comments posted to Github (maybe using Github API)? We have sometimes when squash commits it deletes Github comments, but I thought maybe we could have some stable backup + URL to link to (ex. in commit messages, on the mailing list, etc) which could be searchable and googlable and not be deleted by rebase. Cheers, Matthew Brush

Plugin Wishlist points
by Per Löwgren 27 Aug '15

27 Aug '15

Hi, I've been working a bit on my Geany-plugin Djynn. A few of the points in the plugin wishlist has been added to the plugin. ** In Project mode, be able to open recursively many source files under an existing tree* - in the project manager, all files in a folder and subfolders can be opened at once ** A 2nd sidepane on the right-hand side. It would be practical to see filetree and class browser at the same time. (core-thingy? I dunno) or split the sidepane to see the filetree above the class browser* - the project manager with file tree can be opened as a second sidepane ** List of all projects in sidebar. The project entries should be expandable to show a treeview of all files in the projects base path* ** Add a javadocs option for java users* - djynn has an option for javadoc/doxygen comments ** HTML Characters - Inserts HTML character decimal references like "&" andhexadecimal references like "&" as well as the existing support forentity references like "&". This could be a setting in the Geany preferences.* - djynn has a function for encoding and decoding HTML and a few other formats Regards, Per Löwgren

Geany Portable
by Matthew Brush 21 Aug '15

21 Aug '15

Hi All, I was working on some changes to Geany that may affect "Geany Portable" so I figured I'd have a look at the changes it makes to Geany to see how it handles binary relocation, but I can't seem to find the source code/changes. The link on PortableApps.com[0] seems to indicate that 1.24.1 is available but when I check the sources on SourceForge, it only has 0.20 code (and it's not clear if it includes the changes or is just upstream source). I'm pretty sure Geany's source code would have to be modified in order to allow it to be "portable", since the location to the Glade file is fixed at compile-time, which happens to be tightly related to what I was curious about. The website GeanyPortable.org linked on PortableApps.com seems to redirect somewhere else now (judging by the pictures, I can't read the language it's in). Is the person(s) who release GeanyPortable on this mailing list, and if so, would you mind providing me a copy of the modified source code so that I could review it to make sure we don't further break "portable" Geany? Thanks, Matthew Brush [0]: http://portableapps.com/apps/development/geany_portable

Simplifying file saving options
by Jiří Techet 21 Aug '15

Hi, after some time spent debugging https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/605 I think the file saving options are a bit confusing and misleading and should be simplified. 1. Both g_file_set_contents() and g_file_replace_contents() do absolutely the same thing (saving to temporary file, then renaming the file), the only difference is the first uses POSIX calls while the second GIO. The use_gio_unsafe_file_saving name is very confusing because it's not unsafe in any way. 2. It is now possible to set use_gio_unsafe_file_saving=true use_atomic_file_saving=true and to users it's unclear which of the options will be actually used (it's the use_atomic_file_saving case because it's checked first in the code). 3. The fallback "ordinary" file saving when use_gio_unsafe_file_saving=false use_atomic_file_saving=false doesn't bring any benefit compared to the two above - it's similar to use_atomic_file_saving=true in using POSIX calls, it's just a bit less safe because it writes directly to the file without the renaming. The GIO g_file_replace_contents() recreates the file's permissions/ownership correctly in https://github.com/GNOME/glib/blob/master/gio/glocalfileoutputstream.c#L734 I would suggest removing the file saving option mentioned in (3) above and have just a single settings option like use_gio_file_operations Opinions? Cheers, Jiri
