[Geany] [PATCH] rpm spec update
by Yura Siamashka 10 Jan '08

10 Jan '08

Hi Not long ago I desided to test fedora distributive. Since I need svn version of geany, I tried to create rpm for it. Here is spec update that allow me actually create it. 1) Added plugin dir that come with geany to files section. 2) In install section I have to delete files that don't come to files section. rpmbuild complained about them. p.s. I used to be gentoo user so this rpm stuff is really new to me. Please tell me if my changes are stupid. Best regards, Yura Siamashka

[Geany] Recent Windows changes
by Jeff Pohlmeyer 03 Jan '08

03 Jan '08

Nice work, Enrico! The debug console for windows is very cool, and I really like the more consistent config path for my lua scripts. But when I try to run on Windows 98, I get an error message: "GEANY.EXE is linked to missing export SHELL32:SHGetFolderPathA" After a little googling I found this page: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/241733 The page says: "To use SHGetFolderPath on Windows 95 or Windows 98, you must redistribute the SHFolder.dll file along with the migration DLL." Well, I already have that DLL but it isn't getting linked - So here is what I did to fix it: On line 82 of src/makefile.win32, add -lshfolder to the linker flags. ( Note that -lshfolder has to come *before* -lshell32 ) After that, everything seems to be working - I compiled and ran it on Win98, and tested the same exe on Win2K, Then I compiled and ran it on Win2K, and tested that exe on Win98. So I think it should be safe to add the -lshfolder flag permanently? - Jeff

[Geany] project support
by Yura Siamashka 30 Dec '07

30 Dec '07

Hi I think current project management is really suck. It annoy more then help at least for my needs. Why do I need project management in the first place: 1) Ability to run build commands aka make from base project path 2) Ability to use custom run command for project 3) Ability to have tags for files in project (make Go to Tag Definition/Declaration works) 4) Ability to share project with other people who also work on project I belive current project manager fails completely on 3, 4 Also it is just me but I have to work with a lot of small projects and all this "Open/Close" commands are annoying. That is the problem. Now about solution: For example we have 2 projects "a", "c" and file without project plans.txt: ~/projects/a/a.c ~/projects/a/.geanyprj ~/projects/a/nested/b.c ~/projects/c/c.c ~/projects/c/.geanyprj ~/plans.txt If you try to open ~/projects/a/nested/b.c geany will find ~/projects/a/.geanyprj and load it as currebt project since file b.c belong to project. .geanyprj should contains information about project base dir, and files that in project for example for "a": [project] base_dir=./ run_cmd=./a [files] file0=./*.c:recursive file1=./*.h:recursive if you open or change current tab to ~/projects/c/c.c geany will close project "a" and open ~/projects/c/.geanyprj as current project. if you open plans.txt it should just close current project. Switching projects should regenerate and load TAGS for all project files. (killer feature "Go to Tag" should work for all files in project not for just opened ones) I am going to implement this as plugin. Any comments? Best regards, Yura Siamashka

[Geany] Couple of small patches
by Catalin Marinas 30 Dec '07

30 Dec '07

Hi, I attached two simple patches that make geany easier to use for me. The first one is support for "move document first/last" via <Alt>-Home and <Alt>-End. I end up opening tens of files and navigation becomes really difficult (and I don't like using the mouse). With these key bindings, I can easily move tabs I use most often to the beginning and quickly switch between them with the context menu key. Ideally, a pop-up with features for easy file selection using the keyboard (similar to the tag completion in the editor window) would be best but I don't really have experience with GUI programming. The "Files" plugin allows selecting a file by typing but the project I use geany with has sources scattered all over the place (and the open dialogue box doesn't allow fast switching either). The second patch adjusts the indentation if there is an open bracket on the previous line (similar to emacs but only checks the previous line). This is useful when writing function arguments on multiple lines, multiple conditions in an if statement, lists in Python etc. The indentation is done with spaces rather than a combination of spaces and tabs. I find this more useful since it doesn't break the code alignment if I change the tab width. It doesn't check whether the bracket is inside a string or comment (the existing code doesn't check for a brace inside comment either). Please feel free to modify them. Regards. -- Catalin

Hi, Just installed Geany, Gtk and Mingw (gcc 3.4.5) under Winxp, Geany ran fine but I can't compile, the compile button is grayed. The path to gcc.exe is set to C:\MinGW\bin and I can run it directly from the command line. Any ideas ? regards, bouba

[Geany] Possible bug in win32.c
by Jeff Pohlmeyer 28 Dec '07

28 Dec '07

I notice a potential problem with the win32_check_write_permission() function on line 562 of win32.c - it really isn't a bug right now, but it might turn into a bug if the function ever gets used somewhere else: -MultiByteToWideChar(CP_UTF8, 0, app->configdir, -1, w_dir, sizeof w_dir); +MultiByteToWideChar(CP_UTF8, 0, dir, -1, w_dir, sizeof w_dir); - Jeff

[Geany] VTE as plugin ?
by Bo Lorentsen 25 Dec '07

25 Dec '07

Hi ... I have been using Geany more and more, and is trying to write a new cmake plugin for this small and nice IDE. While doing this, I found my self wondering about the VTE function. Would it not be nice to refactor this terminal as a plugin, both because not all like to use or need this function and to make the plugin interface more mature, and the IDE small ? Regards /BL
