[Geany] geany color sceme + debugger advice - python
by Sean Wolfe 19 May '15

19 May '15

Hello everybody, I've been happily using Geany for a little while now, coding mostly in Python. I have a couple questions: 1. For a dark color scheme, eg Vibrant Ink, how do i get the active line to not be highlighted. White text + white highlighting = invisible text on the line I'm trying to edit. Arrgh! 2. Any debugger advice for python? I am finding winpdb is pretty slow and actually crashes on my machine a fair amount. I'm on a windows 7 64 bit installation. Thanks! -- A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself. - Abraham Maslow

no Terminal tab in Geany preferences??
by Marco Bianchi 28 Jan '15

28 Jan '15

Hello Geany users, I have just installed Geany on Ubuntu and when I open the preferences I have tab General, Interface, ..., Various but after Various* I do not have the Terminal tab (see image below)*, which is what I wanted to access to paste and copy commands to the terminal to execute small pieces of code. Have I made a mistake in installing geany (i used on the command line: sudo apt-get install geany) Thank you very much for help. Best regards, marco [image: Inline image 1]

EuGeany - Geany support for the Euphoria Programming Language
by Codger 27 Feb '13

27 Feb '13

Greetings All, This "kludge" may interest those who are interested in using Geany to edit source files in languages for which Geany has no native support. I have managed to obtain a high degree of support for the Euphoria Programming Language, including syntax color and context sensitive help, by backing up the original lua support files/references in filetypes.lua, filetype_extensions.conf, and snippets.conf, and then editing the lua files/references to support Euphoria. Support for Lua can be swapped/restored back by executing a batch file type program, written in Euphoria, which overwrites the the euphoria enabled, files with the origninal Lua support files. In like manner, Euphoria support can be selected again by copying/overwriting the Lua enabled files with those supporting Euphoria. This is copied from the Euphoria mailing list: I have posted the latest version of Geany support files and utility programs on the RDS User contribution page: http://www.rapideuphoria.com/eugeany.tar.gz . The Context Sensitive Help Program EuHelp <http://openeuphoria.org/wiki/view/EuHelp.wc> is included with the support files, together with a utility program called "gny.ex", which is used to backup the original lua support files and restore them, if desired. A "euphoria enabled" snippets file is also included. All the support files and utility programs are contained in the directory " EuGeany <http://openeuphoria.org/wiki/view/EuGeany.wc>". Once you decompress the EuGeany <http://openeuphoria.org/wiki/view/EuGeany.wc> folder, all you have to do is run the program gny.ex to install and set the system up so you can swap lua/euphoria support whenever you wish. IMPORTANT: you will need to edit the constants which reference FILEDEF_DIR, FILETYPE_EXT_DIR, and SNIPPETS_DIR before running gny.ex! The latest version of gny.ex is included below, but everything you need is contained in the EuGeany <http://openeuphoria.org/wiki/view/EuGeany.wc>download files. Gny.ex is set up to translate/compile EuHelp<http://openeuphoria.org/wiki/view/EuHelp.wc>.ex and gny.ex and then copy those programs to EUDIR/bin/ by default, but you can install those programs manually by setting the value of the constant COMPILE_INSTALL_EUHELP_GNY to FALSE. The path to EUDIR is set without using an environment variable Comments, suggestions for improvements, etc. will be appreciated. I would deeply appreciate if anyone who is interested in extending Geany's support to languages not currently supported, would take a look at my method and providing any criticisms/comments/ suggestions for improvement. Euphoria is a very interesting language which is also very easy to learn. Even a novice programmer will be able to "read" the main program, "gny.ex" with no problem. If you are interested in taking a closer look at Euphoria, the current version, Euphoria 4.05, for Linux and Windows, can be downloaded from http://openeuphoria.org/wiki/view/DownloadEuphoria.wc More Euphoria resources are available at: The OpenEuphoria Forum: http://openeuphoria.org/forum/index.wc Euphoria 4.0.5 online manual: http://openeuphoria.org/docs/index.html Regards, Ken Rhodes <https://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=logo>-- Kenneth Rhodes Ubuntu 12.1 100% MicroSoft Free!

I took "For people using Unix, the following will be helpful for checking your JSON files for correctness." too literally and did not think it applied to Linux ..causing a lot of bother as a result. Now any .json file is recognized as such and there is a hint of context sensitive highlighting: bolded variable names and green numbers. My next job will be to try to expand and embellish the context sensitive highlighting. But, one problem I have run into is the opening/closing brace/bracket check is disabled for filetype: JSON. I can enable it by Document -> Set filetype -> NONE ..precisely where I started a couple of days ago :o( Thanks again for your patience, RF

String Freeze for Geany 1.23
by Frank Lanitz 23 Feb '13

23 Feb '13

Hi translators and friends of Geany, And again we are in final line for another Geany release -- 1.23! The list of changes done for this release is long (as usual) and so a lot of string have changed or were added. I like to ask all translators to check the translations. I'd be very happy if you could send a patch, a pull request or single file with translation to either the geany-i18n mailing list or direct to me within the next two weeks so we can include it to the next release. Deadline will be 2013-03-97. To make it more easy for you I've already uploaded updated versions of the po files to git master at github. You can either download the direct via web or by cloning the repository from https://github.com/geany/geany This can be done e.g. with git clone https://github.com/geany/geany.git Also at http://i18n.geany.org/ are statistics and daily updated files available. As mentioned before, we are trying to have all translations complete by 2013-03-07. If your language was translated by two or more in past, please double check directly with them or by pinging me, so we don't need to translate same things two or three times. Also please feel to ping me for every question or if you like to start a new translation for an unsupported language. Thanks and happy translating Frank

Newbie Question
by Bill Piazzetta 22 Feb '13

22 Feb '13

Hello there! Trying to get a java program to work, typed everything correctly, click on compile, click on run, program doesn't run. Gives back an error message in the console that it can't find the class, or the file... Kinda think I must be missing something here because when I do the same thing with NetBeans if the code is OK it just runs... Am I missing some plugin or configuration...? -- Bill Piazzetta +55 21 8118-3742 billpiazzetta(a)gmail.com

How do I stop geany adding itself to the Cinnamon panel?
by Peter Williams 20 Feb '13

20 Feb '13

When I start geany on a Fedora 18 system with a Cinnamon window manager it adds an item to the window manager panel (one for each instance). How do I turn this behaviour off? I've scoured the preferences menus without any luck. Thanks Peter

Is it possible to toggle view/edit?
by Gael Lafond 07 Feb '13

07 Feb '13

Hello, I have been looking everywhere to find how to toggle Geany file view, but I can't find it. Basically, what I want is: 1. Open a file in Geany using the "View" button, to have the file in read-only. 2. Switch from "View" to "Edit", so I can edit the file without having to close it, find it again in the file system and re-open it using the "Open" button. Thanks! -- Gael Lafond, Programmer Australian Institute of Marine Science PMB 3, Townsville MC, QLD 4810 Ph 4753 4207 - g.lafond(a)aims.gov.au
