[Geany] problems with GTK 2.12 on Windows
by Andreas Mokros 04 May '08

04 May '08

Hi. Has anybody else remarked that certain windows don't close properly, namely the config-dialog, when using GTK 2.12 on windows? I saw this behaviour in another GTK-app (Claws-Mail) as well. Reverting back to GTK 2.10.13 fixed the problem. Don't know if that is a general bug or if some code should be adapted to new GTK-stuff... -- Mockey

[Geany] Problems when "no space left on device"
by Enrico Tröger 04 May '08

04 May '08

Hi, yesterday an user reported that Geany behaves badly when there is no free disk space on the disk where the current file should be saved. That is, when you are editing a file in Geany, meanwhile your disk runs out of free space (extensive logging, copying large files, some process gone bad, ...) and you then save the file in Geany, it gets overwritten and the file is emptied. This is indeed bad. And there seems to be no easy way to fix it. The only solution which comes to my mind would be to check for available disk space before trying to write the file. Unfortunately, there seems to be no portable way of doing this. There is statvfs() for Linux and some Unices but I'm not sure it is generally available. And then there is Windows which again would need some special code. IMO, fopen() should fail to open a file for writing (mode "w") when there is no free space available and it should set errno to ENOSPC. Unfortunately, it doesn't. Instead it does open the file, returns a valid FILE* object and truncates the file. Then the following fwrite() call fails and sets errno to ENOSPC. But unfortunately at this point the file already got truncated and is empty. I tried to first open the file with the "a" flag in append mode, then try to add some characters and if that fails, abort with an appropriate error message. And if it succeeds, re-open the file for normal writing and put the contents as usual. Unfortunately, this also doesn't work reliably. So, I'm not sure if we can/should do anything else about this. Take this as a warning and please try to prevent the case of a full disk. BTW, Geany is not the only app with such problems. Xfce's mousepad and SciTE have the same problem. And there are probably many more applications which similar problems. Regards, Enrico -- Get my GPG key from http://www.uvena.de/pub.asc

[Geany] ANN: Common Plugin Repository
by Enrico Tröger 29 Apr '08

29 Apr '08

Hi all, some time ago we discussed about a common SVN repository for plugin authors but didn't find a concrete solution. We decided to create a "geany-plugins" project[1] at Sourceforge. At the moment it has a Subversion repository and trackers for bug reports, feature requests and patches. Each plugin author is welcome to use these services. To do so, you need an account at Sourceforge. You can easily register at [2]. After you successfully created an account, tell your account name me or Nick and you will write access to the SVN repository[3]. Then you can use the repository for your own plugin. Authors using this service should subscribe to the geany-plugins-commits(a)uvena.de and geany-plugins-tracker(a)uvena.de mailing lists(see my previous post) to stay up to date with changes. General plugin discussion can happen on the normal geany(a)uvena.de or geany-devel(a)uvena.de lists. At the moment, there are two plugins already available in the repository, instantsave and backupcopy. Feel free to use these plugins as a start for your own, maybe by copying the directory structure and the autotools files (Makefile.am, configure.in, ...). These both plugins are also ready for i18n support and have an initial German translation, just for reference. New plugins should be imported into a new directory inside the trunk/ directory. There are also the common branches and tags directories, use them as needed, use always a subdirectory for your own plugin. We encourage authors using this service to only commit changes to their own plugin and not to others' plugins. Instead just send patches to geany-devel(a)uvena.de or the plugin author directly.

[Geany] ANN: New mailing lists
by Enrico Tröger 29 Apr '08

29 Apr '08

Hi, we recently created a few new mailing lists, mainly for developers and plugin authors. geany-devel(a)uvena.de http://lists.uvena.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geany-devel -> a list for developers of Geany and interested people in discussing about the future of Geany. geany-plugins-commits(a)uvena.de http://lists.uvena.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geany-plugins-commits -> read-only mailing list which receives SVN commit messages from the geany-plugins repository. Interesting for plugin authors who use this service (see next post for details). geany-plugins-tracker(a)uvena.de http://lists.uvena.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geany-plugins-tracker -> read-only mailing list for new and updated tracker items(bugs, feature requests, patches) of the geany-plugins project at Sourceforge. Interesting for plugin authors who use this service. All three new lists are expected to be rather low-traffic so don't worry to subscribe ;-).

Re: [Geany] geanylua question

Hi Jeff. Thanks for this plugin first. I don't know much Lua yet but I'm sure it will be very useful. > hmmm... I never actually tried loading modules on Windows, > it works fine on Linux. But I see now where it would be > problematic. Where do you put your modules in Linux? The libgeanylua that is produced there is also static, isn't it? > The problem is that geanylua links statically to 'liblua.a' > but in order to load modules on Windows, it must (???) be > re-compiled to link dynamically to lua51.dll instead. I can compile a working geanylua statically with 'liblua5.1.a' but I'm not sure how to link dynamically using MingW. Is it -shared -llua5.1 then? > I don't know how well this will work with whatever version > you are running, but you can try them if you want: Thanks, but our DLLs apparently don't work with 0.14. > You will also need the "lua5_1_3_Win32_bin.zip" package > from http://luaforge.net/projects/luabinaries/ > in order to get the shared Lua DLL's. I tried -shared -llua5.1. Then I put the lua-DLL into the Geany program dir. It apparently tries to load but then it complains about missing msvcr80.dll. When copying msvcr80.dll to the dir another error appears. Can it be that these DLLs are for MSVC only and cannot be used with MingW? -- Mockey

[Geany] geanylua question
by Andreas Mokros 24 Apr '08

24 Apr '08

Hi. I tried to use some additional lua-modules on windows e.g. with: require 'winman' It seems that the correct path to the module has to be added to LUA_CPATH (can be done with package.cpath) for "require" to work. But then the loaded module looks for lua51.dll. Some default behaviour I guess. I copied libgeanylua.dll as lua51.dll to Geany's program directory and that seems to do the trick. Apparently libgeanylua sees Geany's program directory as its working directory? Is there a better way to do this? Maybe a modification to libgeanylua? -- Mockey

[Geany] mxml and AS
by Jim McNamara 24 Apr '08

24 Apr '08

hi shadow- i kind of wonder about the same thing. i know that someone is working on HAXE support and you can use flex from within HAXE if i understood the HAXE website correctly. i fooled with Flex a little and now face the issue of learning HAXE if there is no other support in Geany for flex and AS. Haxe is suppose to include among other things server side functionality among other things and they said you could use just one language. I looked at the mysql interface and i think i am sticking with PHP on that one. I only wish to use HAXE if i learn it for client stuff. The ability to use HAXE for creating desktop applications is cool too though. I will check back soon on all of this. I am very excited about Geany and these ongoing possibilites (MXML, AS,Haxe) for Linux. not sure at what stage they are at with all of this and that is why i will check back in a bit. thanks, jim ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
