[ANN] New macOS build using GTK3
by Jiří Techet 27 Oct '19

27 Oct '19

Hi, after several bug reports like https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/2344 https://github.com/geany/geany-osx/issues/12 I tried to address these issues by moving to GTK3 (fixes the redraw issues) and creating a new launcher which is compiled into a binary instead of the previously used launcher script (which was problematic because of the Catalina security requirements). The result is here: https://download.geany.org/snapshots/geany-1.36_osx.dmg The only bigger problem I'm aware of is that titlebars of windows such as the find dialog can be "clicked through" to the editor below. To workaround this, one has to move the mouse from the direction of the dialog. One can also close these windows with escape, so it's usually not a big problem. There seems to be a patch for this issue in GTK https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/merge_requests/1140 so it hopefully gets fixed in the next GTK release. One cool feature of this release is that it supports the dark theme for widgets. By default, Geany will auto-detect the theme based on system settings. Upon launch, Geany creates a new config file under ~/.config/geany/geany_mac.conf where one can override this settings. In general, I'm really happy with how this release works and I believe it should work much better than the previous GTK2-based release. I'd encourage everyone to try this build as I don't plan to create the GTK2 releases any more so it would be good to know if there are any problems. Cheers, Jiri

Geany 1.36 on MacOS Catalina
by Ian Darbyshire 25 Oct '19

25 Oct '19

Hello, I use Geany on MacOS daily for Java and PL/SQL development. After upgrading MacOS to Catalina last week, Geany now suffers from incomplete and delayed screen refreshes when editing and moving around a document, rendering it more or less unusable. Has anyone else had this problem and if so, have they found a fix? Regards, Ian D

can't find linter
by bendov＠gmx.com 19 Oct '19

19 Oct '19

a good while back I asked about a linter for Geany (CSS syntax checker / reporter). I've looked off / on for months - & so far found nothing mentioned to work in Geany. It's very possible one(s) may exist & I don't have the knowledge to build it in. I didn't find any instructions (that I understood) to include a linter in a Geany build or if one existed (would work in Geany). Definitely didn't find any such plugins. If one exists, I might need pointing toward detailed steps - if the only ones that would work have to be added to a build of Geany. I've done a few simple builds, but never including 3rd party apps. I don't use Windows anymore, but Notepad++ (Windows only) shows one checker style linter plugin, that uses csslint & others besides just for CSS. "homepage": "https://github.com/deadem/notepad-pp-linter" Part description: "...realtime code check against any checkstyle-compatible linter:... csslint and many others." Thanks.

signature files for plugins, etc?
by bendov＠gmx.com 13 Oct '19

13 Oct '19

There are detached sig files for Geany releases, but do any plugins or tag files (like CSS tag files) have sig files to verify them? It's great to verify the main program, but one tampered extra file could be painful. I doubt any Geany developers would have time to review every 3rd party submitted file, similar to Mozilla Addons. Thanks.

Re: [Geany-Users] attachments sent to all subscribers
by bendov＠gmx.com 10 Oct '19

I'm just curious. I'm not sure if it's normal for any / all attachments sent from a list subscriber, specifically to Geany devs or Geany-Users list moderators, to also go to all list subscribers? As the message w/ attached log file, originally sent by "Garthur via Users" on 10/07/2019 containing a make-log.txt attachment? Maybe there's no way (or desire) to remove attachments from going to all general list subscribers? On some lists, users may add their public key sig files as attachments. That's a bit different.

copying and pasting to R terminal when using ../
by Magicaltats Bianchi 09 Oct '19

09 Oct '19

Hello, I am using Geany as my favourite IDE for debugging R code under Linux (Ubuntu 18.04). I have noticed that if I copy and paste say a simple command line below it works data = read.csv("/home/marco/R/data/mydata.csv") but if I use the line below it does not work because it cannot find the path data = read.csv(".//data/mydata.csv") Have anyone else in the forum experienced a similar problem? Thank you very much for help. Marco

Difficulty installing spellcheck plugin on geany
by ripspin-005＠yahoo.com.au 08 Oct '19

08 Oct '19

Thanks for your help: Colomban Wendling & Lex Trotman It was the: /usr/lib/pkgconfig/geany.pc file. I deleted it and ran: PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH" ./autogen.sh I have done the "make --keep-going" and "make install", there was one error but it didn't appear to relate to sellingcheck, so I did the install. When I restart geany, it doesn't include Spellingcheck in the "Tools > Plugin Manager" menu. Is that normal after doing the plugins install? Regards Garthur On Mon, Sep 30, 2019 at 7:47 PM Lex Trotman <elextr(a)gmail.com> wrote: The problem is pkg-config can't find geany.pc. How did you install Geany? What is the output of `pkg-config geany`? If its nothing, then you need to find where the install put the package config file (geany.pc) since it isn't in the default places pkg-config searches on your system. Then you need to follow the advice the error message gave and set the environment variable or specify --prefix and --with-geany-libdir.

send a block of text between two curly brackets to terminal
by Magicaltats Bianchi 04 Oct '19

04 Oct '19

Dear All, I use geany editor to write and debug R code. Is there a way inside geany where I can send to terminal an entire R function which is basically just a block of code enclosed within 2 curly brackets? In the screen capture image below, for example, I have first clicked the mouse on the funcPSType0 in the top left of the image, which has had the result of making the yellow arrow appear in correspondence to line 224. How can I now send the whole block of text from line 224 to line 236 to terminal? Any help much appreciated. Kind regards, Marco Bianchi [image: image.png]
