I have not been able to find the markdown plugin for Geany for CentOS 7 on EPEL despite a number of other plugins being available. I filed a bug report some time ago so it may eventually be resolved. In the meantime, has anyone found it in a repository or should I compile all plugins from the Geany website?

Deprecated code indicator
by Ruud van Lent 02 Oct '17

02 Oct '17

Hi, I am a new user of Geany. Thank you for making and supporting this wonderfull piece of software: I love the speed, knowing that I come from Eclipse that is not so strange :). As said: I am 'migrating' my (Joomla CMS PHP code) from Eclipse. I have already a working Geany environment with includes for the Joomla Libraries (for code completion) and a complete working phing build system integrated. What I am looking for now is to have Geany indicate that a function / method, etc. I use is deprecated. Deprecated methods are marked deprecated in the docblock (with the @deprecated tag). What e.g. Eclipse or PHPstorm does is display the used function with a 'striketrough'. I know that Geany is not a complete IDE like Eclipse or PHPStorm, but I was wondering if this is currently possible? Thanks for any help! regards, Ruud.

Hi, for some reason I did not receive your individual mails, just the digest mails (multiple)... So not sure if this is going to break this thread... Anyway: thanks for answering :) fyi, the @deprecated tag is not a Joomla (which is a cms) specific docblock tag; it is a generic PHP tag: http://docs.phpdoc.org/references/phpdoc/tags/deprecated.html Does this change anything in your recommendations? I will have a look at the Scintilla lexer and see what that is / offers I am also investigating the possibility to add the @deprecated lookup into the PHP Code Style functionality, I have that currently implemented (with a Joomla Code Style file) and what that does is what you add the red squiggly lines to the code lines that have warnings / errors On 26-09-17 16:22, Ruud van Lent wrote: > On 26 September 2017 at 22:43, <rhkramer at gmail.com > <https://lists.geany.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/users>> wrote: > >/On Tuesday, September 26, 2017 05:00:09 AM Lex Trotman wrote: />>/On 26 September 2017 at 17:33, Ruud van Lent <ruud.van.lent at > zonnet.nl <https://lists.geany.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/users>> />/wrote: />>/> Deprecated methods are marked deprecated in the docblock (with the />>/> @deprecated tag).

GUI Program Development in Geany
by Keith Brown 26 Sep '17

26 Sep '17

Hi everyone, I'm using Geany on Ubuntu 14.04/16.04, mostly for console/terminal program dev in Python. I've always found Geany to be a great piece of software. I've started doing GUI program dev in Python with TKinter, PyQT, etc. and find the fact that Geany always runs commands in the Execute-commands section via the Terminal tool path (i.e. opening a terminal window) to be a little annoying. Is there any "official" way around this? I've tried the workaround of putting the typical Python command (e.g. python3 "%f") in the Python-commands or Independent-commands sections of Set Build Commands (calling it e.g. "Execute Graphical") in order to avoid the terminal window - this works but the busy indicator runs and messages go to the Compiler tab. I've also tried the workaround of changing the Terminal tool path to bash c% and setting up two commands in the Execute-commands section of Set Build Commands: Execute => gnome-terminal -x bash -c 'python3 "%f"; echo -e "\n"; read -p "Press Enter to continue..."' Execute Graphical => python3 "%f" but messages from commands in the Execute-commands section are not displayed on a tab (Geany expects a terminal window to be open). Is there any workaround for this? This seems like a lot of gymnastics. Or am I completely missing something? Wouldn't it make sense to have two different Execute commands in Geany, one that uses a terminal and one that doesn't, with messages from the second command going to a tab like they do with compile commands? Part of my motivation comes from wishing to use Geany more in the training courses that I deliver, and making it easier for the participants to configure Geany for Python/Perl/PHP. Thanks for any help! Keith

python-jedi plugin and general configuration of Geany for python
by sogal 23 Sep '17

23 Sep '17

Hi everyone, I have been using Geany for quite some years now and really happy with it. This times I am learning Python3 and, of course, use Geany for that purpose. The way Geany autocomplete symbols does not completly fill my needs and I wanted to try geany-jedi-complete plugin [0] but install fails with the following output : ### g++ -c src/preferences.cpp -O2 -fPIC `pkg-config --cflags geany` -std=c++0x -I./geany-complete-core/include -o lib/src/preferences.o In file included from /usr/include/geany/editor.h:28:0, from /usr/include/geany/document.h:32, from /usr/include/geany/build.h:27, from /usr/include/geany/geanyplugin.h:37, from ./geany-complete-core/include/geanycc/cc_plugin.hpp:23, from ./geany-complete-core/include/geanycc/geanycc.hpp:25, from src/preferences.cpp:22: src/preferences.cpp: In member function ‘virtual GtkWidget* geanycc::PythonCompletionFramework::create_config_widget(GtkDialog*)’: /usr/include/geany/gtkcompat.h:81:11: error: invalid conversion from ‘gpointer {aka void*}’ to ‘GtkWidget* {aka _GtkWidget*}’ [-fpermissive] NULL) ^ /usr/include/geany/gtkcompat.h:83:3: note: in expansion of macro ‘compat_gtk_box_new’ compat_gtk_box_new(GTK_ORIENTATION_VERTICAL, (homogeneous), (spacing)) ^ src/preferences.cpp:122:24: note: in expansion of macro ‘gtk_vbox_new’ GtkWidget* vbox = gtk_vbox_new(FALSE, 5); ^ geany-complete-core/Makefile.core:39: recipe for target 'lib/src/preferences.o' failed make: *** [lib/src/preferences.o] Error 1 ### OS : GNU/Linux openSUSE Leap 42.3 Geany : 1.29 (Gtk 3.20) Package geany-devel is installed as well as other plugin build-time dependencies. Does anyone have an idea about how I can solve it ? Beside that, if some other experimented Python developpers using Geany has any advice on how I can configure it specifically for Python I would take it :) (I have already set build options). Thank you in advance. Regards, -- Sébastien 'sogal' Poher

Visual / appearance question (Geany and beyond)
by Len Philpot 22 Sep '17

22 Sep '17

(I've searched the list archives, but if I missed the answer please direct me) Although I've just re-subscribed to the list, I'm not a new Geany nor Linux user. However, I'm working on educated guesses in this area and I might be wrong. Please correct me if so. At home, I'm running Geany 1.30 on Xubuntu 16.04 and at work, Geany 1.31 on CentOS 7 (under Xfce on both). However, they look really different and I suspect it's because of GTK2 vs. GTK3, but that's where I'm not 100% sure. It's purely my personal preference but I vastly prefer the GTK2 look and feel to GTK3. On CentOS 7: http://pages.suddenlink.net/lenphilpot/img/Geany_CentOS7-Xf ce-GTK3.jpg (GTK3?) On Xubuntu: http://pages.suddenlink.net/lenphilpot/img/Geany_Xubuntu1604 -Xfce-GTK2.jpg (GTK2?) There are a couple of preference differences (placement of message window, etc.), but is the difference in look due to GTK3 vs. GTK2, just theming or what? Or can it even be determined from a screenshot? Bigger question: What can I do to get the "GTK2 look" (if in fact that's the factor) with Geany on CentOS? Is there a theme, or do I need to track down the newest Geany I can find built against GTK2? That one came from the EPEL repo, but I have no problem removing it and installing a local package. This has larger significance for me as GTK3 becomes more widespread, particularly now that KDE (Qt) has adopted a similar "Window 8" UI look and feel. Thanks for helping me educate myself. -- Len Philpotlphilpot01(a)gmail.comSent from Evolution on Xubuntu Linux

Possible unintentional behavior when stripping trailing spaces and tabs
by Little Girl 04 Sep '17

04 Sep '17

Hey there, I was looking through the preferences for Geany today and decided to try this one since I occasionally have an unwanted space or tab at the end of a line: Edit --> Preferences --> Files --> Saving files --> Strip trailing spaces and tabs I turned it on and it works great on lines with a trailing space or tab, but I noticed a behavior I consider unwanted and I'm wondering if this is by design or if it's something that ought to get fixed: If you put your cursor on a blank line and tab over three times and save the file, Geany strips those three tabs out even though they're leading tabs (they're not trailing after anything). For the purposes I have for that option, Geany saving me from the trailing spaces or tabs I occasionally litter a file with wouldn't be worth the many times that Geany would prevent the cursor from being in exactly the spot I want it in (three tabs over or whatever) on save, so I'm going to turn that off again for now. What I'd like is for Geany to only strip trailing spaces or tabs from lines that also contain something other than tabs or spaces. Is there any chance that that's what was intended and that it just needs fixing or is it behaving as intended? -- Little Girl There is no spoon.
