Hi Lex,

I presume you've found the Geany Lua plugin then :-)
Actually, I had no idea - but thanks for the hint! I'll install it asap! :-)
The problem with scripts is that they are not portable (Geany runs on *x and *dows) or they create a dependency, in your case on Lua.
Lua also runs ob *x, *doze or any other platform providing a plain ANSI-C compiler, because its source code deliberately does not use any features outside of those guaranteed by the ANSI-C standard libraries.
But I get your argument, and I agree. It *is* an additional dependency.
but could probably be put on the extras section of Geany web site for people who are willing to install Lua.
That's all I had hoped for!
Thats up to the main developers who maintain the web site.
I would feel honored.
I better warn you that it might take a while, the developers are a bit overloaded with "real" life at the moment.
Check this out guys: http://www.geany.org/Download/Extras#scripts Alternatively you can also provide your scripts on a own homepage if you have, Guenther, I would integrate a link to your site then. Just tell me, how you'd like to prefer it. :)
Best Regards, Dominic
