Dear All,
I have just seen the latest Geany, having last seen it about a year
ago, and am interested in possibly using it as a standard editior/ide on a
bootable cd/dvd system we are developing for students. The ideal is to have
a simple GUI which they only have to learn once but can cope with the
multiple languages they encounter. Currently we use Emacs + others, but
would like a more IDE looking GUI. Geany looks as though it has the
workings but I have been trying to add other languages/templates etc. Do I
understand that this is impossible by just adding them to the .conf, and
adding filetypes.XXX files, e.g. they are not automatically picked up? or
am I missing something?
Many Thanks for any help, the package looks really nice
regards
Peter
Hello,
First of all: Thanks for the Geany, which has become my favourite editor
for all kind of stuff :)
There is only one thing that could be improved which I am actually
thinking about, and I talked to a lot of "editor-developers".
Actually I found no way to set the colours for syntax highlighting or
even specify which parts should be highlighted.
As a reference I tried to "dress" any GUI editor like GVim seen on this
screenshot:
http://lucumr.pocoo.org/media/dynamic/images/1748/green-human.png
I think that is just a great style, but I found no editor (except GVim)
that is capable of syntax highlighting like that.
Also tiny things like that the '"' (quote-signs) aren't not in the same
color as the strings look very impressive.
Do you think, this is possible at all with geany/Scintilla?
Best regards,
Timm
I discovered Geany the other day (thanks to the new Fedora Extras
package) and would like to congratulate you on your work. I've been
looking for an all-purpose programming editor for some time and think
that this might be the one. I work mainly in python, php, latex,
lilypond, xml and do some hacking in c and bash.
Just a couple of relatively minor bugs which I've noticed and a couple
of features which I think might be useful to some people.
1. The commandline option --line doesn't seem to work for me when
using an already running instance of geany. Also, even when opening
new instance, the cursor will go to the correct line, but the window
will not scroll to show the cursor.
2. A corresponding option --column would be great also. I use Lilypond
(a latex like musical typesetter) which creates pdfs with embedded
hyperlinks to the source document [1].
3. The symbols pane for latex files doesn't recognise commands with *
after them. The * is used for many latex command variants e.g.
unnumbered sections: \section*{}.
I have a few other ideas, but will leave it at that for the moment
until I've used Geany for a bit longer. I'd also love to help out
where I can if possible. My C programming is pretty rusty, but I can
do simple patches, or other things such as documentation etc.
Regards,
Mark

Oops. I will change the text of the README. But the documentation[1] is
quite clear.

Hello,
I'm catching flack from the fedora people because of the way geany
handles vte support. Now I don't see anything wrong with this approach,
but in the name of making everybody happy I have this proposal. Instead
of treating libvte as a plugin and doing g_module_open() on the library
itself, how bout separating out the vte functionality even more into its
own plugin. So instead of doing a g_module_open() on libvte, you do a
g_module_open() on libgeanyvte or whatever, and then you can compile vte
support into the geany-vte plugin. This keeps the same functionality as
you have currently, where if you can't find the geany-vte plugin it
doesn't matter, and you have better control on where that goes so you
don't have to keep a list of libraries to lookup. My responsibility as
the fedora packager is simply to match what upstream has, so if you
don't like this approach that is fine with me and everything will
continue status quo, but if you do like this approach then it would be
helpful to me, and it could even open up the possibility of having a
broader plugin framework for geany. Thank you,
Josef
Dear list,
I use templates for my websites and have called them .tpl (as in TemPLate).
I copied filetype_extensions.conf to ~/.geany/filedefs and changed the
HTML definition to read:
HTML=*.htm;*.html;*.shtml;*.hta;*.htd;*.htt;*.cfm;*.tpl;
.tpl's are still unformatted until I manually set the file type to HTML
in the Geany interface.
My bad or buggy?
Cheers!

Dear list,
Can the path be stripped from the window title? My taskbar is telling me
I'm editing "/home/harold/Ne..." all the time... I'd rather see
"file.txt" without the full path...
I've browsed through the preferences, but I didn't find an option to
strip the path from the title...
Cheers!

It's probabl not so hard to implement but I don't like to do
it. If someone is really interested in, perhaps taking a look at the
code of Scite would be helpful.

I recently started using Geany and I must say that I was rather
impressed with it. It's slick and professional looking; I love it.
I noticed that it uses scintilla. When I use Scite I hit Ctrl-Enter to
receive a list of possible candidates for completing my word (in this
case, a variable that I created in C++). However, when I try this in the
default package that comes with Ubuntu Edgy, the most recent release, or
the version in Subversion I get an empty list. I delete all of geany's
files between each install, to include all of the related files in my home.
Is this intended behavior or is this a bug? Is there a way to fix this?
I tried searching through the docs and looking through the config to no
avail.
Thanks,
Michael Lynch
p.s. admins, hope I didn't spam you too much with my canceled
waiting-to-be-moderated e-mails. This is my first post to a mailing list
and as such, I'm not exactly mailing list savy. Sorry about that.
I know most people really like the auto-complete feature,
but it drives me crazy :-)
Here is a tiny patch that allows setting the auto-complete
height to zero, which will disable it.
