None except Geany worked the way I wanted, and with Geany everything was perfect — I +even liked the name — everything except the project manager. I couldn't get any of the +project-manager-plugins to do what I wanted, and I had something similar to Notepad++, +Dev-C++, or CodeBlocks in mind. So I decided to see if I could make a plugin of my own. +The TreeBrowser plugin was a good starting point. It went well, even better than expected +and it was so much fun I decided to add more functionality, and so when I needed sorting +that was added, and after that was added commenting with a slightly different behaviour of +the built in commenting.</p> + +<p>The name Djynn is of course a play on words, like the name Geany, both being oriental +spirits, but with a 'y' instead of 'ie'/'i'. Having added more functionality than a simple +project manager, I couldn't just name the plugin "Project Manager" or similar, and so I +thought of the name Geany, and obviously it refers to the three-wish-fulfilling flask-dwelling +spirit "Genie" with a modified spelling, and I came to think of the other oriental spirit +"Djinn", of which I suppose the name Genie comes, and thought "hey, that could be a good name!".</p> + +<h3>Features</h3> + +<p>Djynn is a plugin for the Geany IDE and adds sorting and commenting functionality as well +as a simple projectmanager that integrates with the built in project handler of Geany.</p> + +<p>Lines can be sorted in various ways, ascending, descending and reverse line order. If +there is a selection, only the selected lines are sortered, otherwise the entire document is +sorted.</p> + +<p>The commenting differs slightly from the built in commenting of Geany. It's of course a +matter of taste and personal programming style, better to have a few options to choose from. +It toggles line- and block-commenting, and add doxygen comments.</p> + +<p>The project manager inserts a tree for the project files. Files are added manually in each +project, there can be any number of files, order in any way you like, and it's also possible to +read and insert files from a directory including subdirectories (only source files are read, +and non-project directories such as '.svn' excluded).</p> + +<p><img src="http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/7964/geanydjynn.png" /></p> + +<p>In the project manager you can have any number of workspaces, and each workspace can contain +any number of projects. Each project is stored in a separate config-file, and if two workspaces +creates two projects of the same name the same project is shared between workspaces. Projects +also integrates with the built in Geany projects, and for every Djynn project a Geany project is +created also.</p> + +<p>To make it easier working with many projects, a session handler has been added to Djynn, and +you can easily add more sessions from the menu. Each session maintains its open documents, of +course including position. When switching between sessions, all documents of the previous session +are closed, and all documents of the new session opened. This way, you can work with one project, +then another, then switch back, in the time it takes to close and open the documents.</p> + +<p><img src="http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/495/geanydjynnwssess.png" /></p> + +<p>Create new Workspaces and Sessions in the Djynn menu:</p> + +<p><img src="http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/1903/geanydjynnmenu.png" /></p> + +<h3>Installing Djynn</h3> + +<p>Djynn uses CMake, so you will need to install this, and you will of course need to install +GTK+, minimum 2.6. To build and install Djynn, open a terminal and enter the following commands:</p> + +<pre>svn checkout http://libamanita.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ libamanita +cd libamanita/src/plugin/djynn +mkdir build +cd build +cmake .. +make +sudo make install</pre> + +<p>Restart Geany and you should be able to see Djynn in your Plugin Manager (see Tools menu).</p> + +<p><img src="http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/9071/geanydjynnconfig.png" /></p> + +<p>Please, report any bugs!</p> + +<p>Suggestions on improvements are much welcome.</p> + +<p>The Djynn plugin project can be found at +<a href="http://code.google.com/p/libamanita/wiki/djynn" target="_blank">Google code</a>.</p>
