[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]

geany does not send commands to terminal (in fresh new installation), geany 1.23, GTK 2.24, Ubuntu 12.04 64bit
by Marco Bianchi 29 Jul '13

29 Jul '13

Dear Users, I love geany lightweight editor which I have used for a couple of years now. I have made a brand new installation of Ubuntu 12.04 64bit on a brand new hard disk etc and then I have installed geany, version below: geany 1.23 (built on Apr 7 2013 with GTK 2.24.10, GLib 2.32.3) I have installed libvte9 too. My issue with geany is that it does not send commands to terminal. Any idea why this is happening? marco PS: It can be seen from the image below that I have selected the first three lines of code, but nothing happens when I send those lines to terminal using the CTRL-4 key (which I have defined in keybindings). I also attach more images showing set up of some of my preferences tabs. [image: Inline image 1] [image: Inline image 2] [image: Inline image 3]

Sluggish (slow; transiently non-responsive) Geany?
by Victoria S. 24 Jul '13

24 Jul '13

Hello: Can anyone comment on this? Thanks ... I am experiencing frequent sluggish/non-responsive behavior persisting several seconds upon routine use of Geany - virtually every copy/paste action. During these episodes, Geany appears to 'freeze;' it is increasingly annoying to me. Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64 bit Intel® Core™2 Quad CPU Q9300 @ 2.50GHz × 4 Geany 1.23 I generally several tabs open in Geany, copying and pasting text from my web browser (Firefox) and the gnome-terminal into Geany. These Geany files are rather small: at most several hundred lines long (e.g. up to ~1200 or so lines). I have just a few plugins running (all from the default installation - nothing exotic), Addons | Export | Extra Selection | Save Actions | Shift Column | Spell Check | Split Window | Tree Browser | Updatechecker ... although I did tweak the following two configuration files, a bit,as shown: 'snippets.conf' : sep1============================================================================== sep2======================================== sep3=----------------------------------------------------------------------------- sep4=--------------------------------------- sep5=- - - - - - - - - - 1at=1(a)VictoriasJourney.com #snip=[snip] Snip= [ ...

Hi! New to Geany. How does one ftp to production?
by Colin 21 Jul '13

21 Jul '13

Hi! New and really want to like Geany. =) We have a php production system, where we develop in a local dev directory, then move to a local test directory and if it passes test, then move those files to out to the web to production/out for use by our user base. We have a full on packaging and push system that we use for full releases to the web, but developers do a lot of small releases as well along the way. Any suggestions on how to do ftp directly from Geany after the files have been tested? This seems like a really easy thing. Any help? Thoughts? What does everyone do? Note: We haven't yet found away to actually copy a file to test yet in Geany. But a local ftp and an external would work just as well as a copy to the test directory. Seems like a nig hole for any web developer using this. =) Recommendations much appreciated. Thanks for any help, -Colin MediaBlinkk

Hi! New to Geany. How does one find Dark color schemes for Geany that include the interface?
by Colin 21 Jul '13

21 Jul '13

Hi! New here. I've installed the dark color scheme, but it only effects the editing area. This is really jarring and hard on the eyes having the Geany interface really light around the outside and the editing area really dark with the dark color scheme. Makes using the color schemes, dark or other wise really hard to use/view. Constantly your eyes are jarred out of the experience. We were using the Sublime Text 2 dark color scheme and both the editing area and the interface around it are dark, making it a much more pleasurable experience. Is there a way to make the Geany as pretty as the editing area? When using the dark color schemes? Thanks! Sort of makes have a dark color scheme in the editing area unusable, if your eyes are constantly jumping out of it with the light colored interface around it. Thanks again for any help, If we could get this and a drag and drop copy to a directory, and maybe an ftp. This would be a really nice piece of kit. -Colin MediaBlinkk

Hi! New to Geany. How does one develop in local directory, then move file inside geany to test?
by Colin 21 Jul '13

21 Jul '13

Hi! Really want to like Geany. =) Just found it, currently using sublime text 2. But while I like it, it's not so smooth, keeps pegging out our cpu's while it needlessly updates unedited files in the sidebar. So we are looking for something else. Have been using Dreamweaver, but is way clumsy and slow. Would like to release Geany to all our developers out there, but there seem to be some development process holes. Maybe people can suggest/help. Being a PHP software dev/product we do a lot of php editing locally, then move to test locally and then ftp those changes out to various servers. Sometimes we edit a half dozen files in a release and so we just want to release those instead of pushing a full product release out to the web. So far I haven't found any way to copy a file in Geany from one directory local dev to another directory local test. In fact I haven't found any way at all to copy a file in any way at all. Only new and save or save as. This is a big hole in development because lots if not most people develop in a dev directory, then move that to test. Using php we like to test on the fly, meaning we have to move the files to test and we don't want to have to edit them directly in test or our changes will be lost. Having to constantly move out of Geany over and over again to move or copy a file using a file manager is really painful. Makes any of the joy disappear. This seems like a really easy thing. Any help? Thoughts? Thanks! To give you some context, we are #1 on google if you do a search on "Social Publishing Software". But we can't release this without a viable copy option. =) Or a local move/ftp option. Note: this may be available, and it may be that we're just too new to find it so any help is much appreciated. Geany is almost great, but this and no ftp make it really unwieldy for day to day use by web developers. Who don't want to overwrite their production files on editing. If we can at least use Geany to develop in dev and then copy to test. We would be golden for the moment. FTP would be nice too. =) Thanks for any help and the cool software, -Colin MediaBlinkk

set working directory for debug
by Drake, Johnathan 11 Jul '13

11 Jul '13

How does one go about setting the working directory for use with the debugger plugin? Right now, it wants to start the debug at my base directory which is where my source files are. I want to be able to set a working directory (where my test files are) so that the debugger executes the target in that directory instead. Also, is there a way to debug using the build settings?

Press Any Key not working
by c.tdonald 07 Jul '13

07 Jul '13

I am seeking assistance with Geany 1.23.1 which has been installed on a Notebook running Windows 8. The problem is that when a Pyton file is executed it seems to execute OK but the command module flashes onto the screen and then disappears straight away. So no "Press any key to continue" message appears. I am assuming this is an issue with Geany but may be one with Python; my IT knowledge is scant and I am not even sure what the correct question to ask is. The version of Python being used is WinPython-32bit-2.7.5.1 which has been installed into C:\WinPython-32bit-2-7-5-1. Initially Geany issued a message that Python is not recognized until I included in the system variables path ;C:WinPython-32bit-2-7-5-1\Scripts. At this point the issue started occurring. Have changed the path to exclude the \Scripts part and if I do Python is again not recognized. I have no idea what needs to be done to fix this matter and hope someone can help. Chris
