Thanks! The plugin searches your project directory for files as you type. It is for quickly opening files by name. Sent from Yahoo! Mail on Android |

It kind of sounds like one of the things the "Commander" plugin does, but I can't tell having not tested it yet. Looking back as far as Thunderbird takes me on this thread, it's not clear on the term "Snap Open" that the OP used. > The make script just does the minimum to get it working. You run it with ./make (it's a bash script). Having looked briefly at your coding skills, I can assure you that it's fully within your grasp to understand how "proper" GNU Make files go, it's just a little weird at first. I don't mean to say you should understand the full Geany-Plugins build system(s), but I mean in general you shouldn't have any problem writing a basic Make file. For example: quick-opener.so: quick-opener.o $(CC) -o $@ $^ `pkg-config --libs geany` quick-opener.o: quick-opener.c $(CC) -c -fPIC `pkg-config --cflags geany` -o $@ $< install: cp quick-opener.so ~/.config/geany/plugins/ clean: rm -f *.o *.so Not that it matters, I just say for your own interest because I remember writing such a shell script as you have made before, not realizing how simple a basic Make file could be. > When I say nearly complete, I mean that you can't configure the plugin yet with directories/files to exclude. It already excludes hidden directories, certain binary extensions, and starts at the project's working directory. > > I haven't made a pull request yet because I don't have the packaging stuff done (documentation, build stuff I need help with). > Come ask on IRC or here on devel-list with questions. If you can write reasonable C code, then the rest is just crusty old m4 nonsense. I think everyone has problems groking Autotools and/or Waf, at least at first.
