[Geany] Taglist selection change
by Dave Moore 11 Jun '07

11 Jun '07

Hi When I click on a tag in the taglist treeview, it jumps to two places. First it jumps to whichever tag is currently selected, then it goes to whichever tag I clicked on. Is this the expected behavior or a bug? I'm trying to make it add positions to the navqueue, so it seems to me that utils_goto_line() should really only be called once. dave

[Geany] spaces, tabs and saving
by Amir R. Saffari A. A. 09 Jun '07

09 Jun '07

Thanks a lot for making geany one of the best IDEs out there. I have just a feature request which someone had already suggested, but still not implemented yet. It's about replacing tabs with spaces: what geany does is that during the editing the text, it inserts tabs, and when you save the file it converts them to spaces. While this is what replacing means, actually it sometimes messes up the text identation and configuration. Let me give an example here: let's assume that I'm writing the following text (with \t I mean presseing TAB key and we have set the tab to be 2 spaces width): a\t\t= 1; b\t\t= 2; ab\t= 4; What we expect to see is that = signs are all aligned nicely, which is what happens: a and b have 3 spaces in front while ab has 2. Now when you save this text, geany replaces all tabs with 2 spaces, this makes the distance of a and b to the = sign as 4, while keeping the number of spaces in front of ab equal to 2. As a result, you lose the alignment you wished to have. I think the solution is to just take the modular of the number of the where we press the TAB with the tab width and insert that amount of space instead of a fixed amount of it. I'm not familiar at all with geany's source, otherwise I would try to see how I can solve it. Best Regards Amir --------------------------------- Be a better Globetrotter.

[Geany] Wrong starting tag for the fileheader in PHP files
by Maxime Sadrieh (iKs) 09 Jun '07

09 Jun '07

Hi, I'm using Geany 0.11 mainly for web programming and I've been editing PHP's template to se if it can suit my needs. The {fileheader} variable seems to automatically choose the right comment and tags construction (if needed) to integrate into the target file. Unfortunately it uses the <? and ?> open and close tags instead of <?php and ?> in PHP files ! :( As this tags may not work on some servers where the shorttags directive is off (it can also be misinterpreted by an XML parser as a processing instruction or an XML declaration), I suggest it's changed to the original and portable way [1] Thanks for taking my suggestion into account ;) iKs. PS: Please excuse my poor English, I'm French :D [1] http://fr3.php.net/manual/en/language.basic-syntax.php

[Geany] Couple of questions
by Frank McCormick 07 Jun '07

The more I use it the more I like it! Two questions: Can I change the foreground/background colors of the editor? and can I change (or add) a delete line command like ctrl-y ?? Thanks Frank -- Change the world one loan at a time - visit Kiva.org to find out how

[Geany] Building on Windows
by chuck 04 Jun '07

04 Jun '07

I build Geany for both Windows and Linux. 2 reasons I build my own: 1) I like being current, and 2) I like (and need) column-mode editing and must apply my patch to scintilla to make that happen. BUILDING ON WINDOWS I don't use cmd.exe. It just sucks. I use Cygwin for a LOT of my work. So... I have found a cumbersome way to build on Windows with Cygwin with MinGW compiler. I read the instructions on the Geany web site, and downloaded all the necessary libs etc. I have MinGW installed in a directory that preceeds cygwin on the Windows path. Then to build, I perform the following steps: 1) delete all deps.mak files. 2) set PREFIX=/cygdrive/d/<where the libs are> 3) run make on each of the 3 build directories - src, scintilla, and tagmanager. Make will fail on all three, after the deps.mak files are built. Can't use the drive letter with colon in the PREFIX, because that is a path separator and creates unusable deps.mak files. 4) change PREFIX to d:/<where the libs are>. (The drive letter colon is ok and, in fact, required now for MinGW compiler ). 5) re-run make -f makefile.win32 and Geany.exe results. As I said, it is cumbersome, but it works. If there is a better/easier way, please let me know. Geany rocks. chuck

[Geany] Geany and malloc on AIX 5.3
by Harri Koskinen 04 Jun '07

04 Jun '07

Hi all, I just finished compiling Geany on AIX v5.3 and it now works after little tinkering. The problem I encountered was that AIX doesn't have a 'malloc' conforming to 'GNU malloc', so configure defines 'malloc' as 'rpl_malloc'. Geany doesn't provide this replacement function so the compiling fails at link time. I bypassed this by editing config.h and Geany seems to work fine with native AIX malloc. But I think the right solution is to provide the replacement function as autoconf documentation suggests. Here's a sample, copy-pasted from the autoconf manual: ###snip### #if HAVE_CONFIG_H # include <config.h> #endif #undef malloc #include <sys/types.h> void *malloc (size_t); /* Allocate an N-byte block of memory from the heap. If N is zero, allocate a 1-byte block. */ void * rpl_malloc (size_t n) { if (n == 0) n = 1; return malloc (n); } ###snip### Best regards, -Harri
