Hola! @NTMan has created a [ZenHub](http://www.zenhub.io) account for the **geany** organization. ZenHub is the leading team collaboration and project management solution built for GitHub.

#### How do I use ZenHub?
To get set up with ZenHub, all you have to do is **[download the browser extension](http://www.zenhub.io)** and log in with your GitHub account. Once you do, you’ll get access to ZenHub’s complete feature-set immediately.
#### What can ZenHub do?
ZenHub adds a series of enhancements directly inside the GitHub UI:
- Real-time, customizable task boards for GitHub issues;
- Burndown charts, estimates, and velocity tracking based on GitHub Milestones;
- Personal to-do lists and task prioritization;
- “+1” button for GitHub issues and comments;
- Drag-and-drop file sharing;
- Time-saving shortcuts like a quick repo switcher.

Agree. And one of the big features my temp NSIS script misses is ability to customize what gets installed. Personally, I usually don't install locales and make sure development headers are installed.

There are some cases where the status bar is used to display error messages. Using this method rather than a modal dialogue is UI design choice which certainly has it merits. Dialogues demand a user action and block work flow. This can be annoying if over used.
However, the status bar is on the periphery of vision when attention is usually focused on some user action in the middle of the screen or a menu interaction. Some minor change in black text on a grey background on the periphery of vision may not even be noticed by the user .
One case brought this to my attention recently. I did a file operation and for some reason it failed but the error was shown in the status bar and I did not notice. It appeared that there was no error but it was apparent from the context that nothing had changed so I tried again. It was on the fourth attempt that I notices a very discrete message in the status bar telling me the operation had failed.
I was interacting with the menus on the upper-right section of the screen and the small visual change in status bar was not sufficient to catch the eye.
I can't recall the exact context so it's possible that a modal may have been better in that situation but remaining with the current design, if errors are to be displayed in the status bar, it needs greater visibility.
I would suggest flashing background colour to red once or twice or some similar device to attract the user's attention. This remain non disruptive but ensures that it gets noticed.
This could be wrapped as a status_error() function available to situations where the status bar is being used to display errors that need to be noticed when they happen , rather than status information which is there for reference when the user seeks it .
I think there is some kind of flash method in toolkit but I can't recall a function name.

Ok. On Windows installers, often "more features == more clicking Next" is True :).
Seriously, sometimes I'm also a bit annoyed by clicking Next so often but on the other hand it is probably mostly just an issue while testing the installer and so just executing the installer more often. In real world use it's probably not that hard.

hAs detailed here, only a summary warning that "one or more" errors occurred is given if there is a failure when opening a project:
ttps://github.com/geany/geany/issues/777#issuecomment-160059074
It seems that in this case some files that were open in the project had moved due to a system re-installation. However this remains guesswork since the errors are not reported in the status window. Only the file that opened successfully get reported.
On closing the project only open files are included so subsequently opening the project does not repeat the error.
Clearly explicit error messages should be given , probably in the status window.

Hello.
When someone is using splitwindow plugin and the splitwindow editor has the focus, the status bar still shows the info about the document opened in the main editor.
We've have talked about this on the mailing list. I was trying to fix this but I need [ui_update_statusbar](https://github.com/geany/geany/blob/master/src/ui_util… to be added to the API so that it is accessible from plugins.
I'll try to add it on my local clone to see if it works and, if so, I'll ellaborate a PR for fixing this.

I have built geany from source and when I start it I get the following error box displayed:
```
Configuration directory could not be created (Permission denied).
There could be some problems using Geany without a configuration directory.
Start Geany anyway?
```
This is actually of no use in trying to fix the problem since it does not state what it can't create.
I don't want start picking my way through the source code to find out what it may or may not be trying to do. Some abstract comment about "Configuration directory" is pointless. Just state explicitly the full path name of the directory that it can not create and the user may have some chance of fixing the permissions problem.
BTW where is this "Configuration directory" ?
Permissions seem right for this user but since I don't know what it is trying to do I can hardly fix it.
