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!

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

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.

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' :

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,

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.

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

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?
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
