Hey guys,
Great work on Geany. It's by far my most favorite text editor. A few minutes ago with the help of dmaphy on IRC, I was able to make it a bit more awesome for me by having it execute .m files on octave the way it does with python. All I had to do was add:
[build_settings] # %f will be replaced by the complete filename # %e will be replaced by the filename without extension # (use only one of it at one time) compiler= run_cmd=octave -q "%f"
to the end of the file ~/.config/geany/filedefs/filetypes.matlab, that would execute the script on octave if it's installed. I was wondering if this could be added by default. Octave is a pretty decent matlab-compatible free tool ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Octave).
So, what do you guys think?
