automatically show "Read Only" when opening root owned
by bendov＠gmx.com 29 Oct '20

29 Oct '20

I thought Geany automatically showed "Read Only" in title bar, on opening root owned or protected files, or it changed the tab background or text. From the menu, you can manually mark a file read-only & it changes the tab text to green - for me. I want it to prominently auto-indicate RO files, when I open them. In the manual, https://www.geany.org/manual/current/index.html#customizing-geany-s-appeara… -says, "/To override GTK+ CSS styles, you can use traditional mechanisms or you can create a file named //geany.css//in the user configuration directory (usually //~/.config/geany//)/..." "/Geany offers a number of CSS IDs ("properties"?) which can be used to //taylor//[tailor] its //appearence//appearance. Among the more interesting include:/ "/geany-document-status-/*/readyonly/**/`/*/- the style for document tab labels when the document is read-only"/ [Note: the backward mark (grave) after "read*y*only" AND the extra 'y' in line above are probably typos]? "Style for... tab labels" - means changing text color, weight and style: "color: #FFFF00;" "font-style: italic;" Tried common syntax changes for this - not working. Should it be "readonly", or maybe "read-only?" Tried both - no change. I assume the css property / selector should have a period or # mark in front of "geany-document-status-read...?" In my ~/.config/geany directory there's a "gtk-3.0" folder. I don't remember if I created it. There is a geany.css file in it w/ some -GtkScrollbar properties (that don't seem to affect Geany). In Preferences/Various, the STATUSBAR template line has %w (to show mode RO or INS or OVR). Doesn't recognize read-only (root) files, until I manually set it to RO via the menu. Then status bar shows RO. Thanks!

JavaScript and class syntax
by Claude Paroz 23 Oct '20

23 Oct '20

Hi, I'm currently using Geany 1.33 (from Debian stable) and I'm very annoyed by the Symbols pane not showing properly class hierarchy when using the JavaScript class syntax, like: class MyClass { constructor(param) {} otherFunc() {...} } I'm only getting a single "class" symbol (for all classes) and cannot browse anything inside it. Is this something fixed in recent versions of Geany (or any underlying library)? Is it possible to do anything to improve my current situation while staying with the Debian stable version or do I have to compile some sources? Thanks for any help. Claude -- www.2xlibre.net

running scripts close on hitting F5
by Rajarshi Saha 22 Oct '20

22 Oct '20

Hi, I am using Debian 10.6, Geany 1.33. I use Geany to run various scripts by hitting F5. I am not sure what version I was on before, but now suppose I have a script running. Then later from the same window (instance?) if I want to start another script and I hit F5, it kills all my running scripts that I have starter from Geany by hitting F5. Usually I have two instances of Geany running and trying to start a script from any one window kills other running scripts. To note, I can start a bunch on scripts together. Running scripts get closed when I try to start another script after sometime. The scripts usually are php scripts and I do my day-end database ops, when the scripts get killed I have to open mariadb and monitor processlist, wait for long running queries to finish before I can trigger the rest of the queries. What can do to solve this? Thanks for your help!

CannotReduceTemplatesFiles
by Geoff Kaniuk 16 Oct '20

16 Oct '20

Hello Geany List, I am running Geany 1.36 (GTK2) - built from source. The system templates located at /usr/local/share/geany/templates/files contains 13 templates. I have reduced my ~/.config/geany/templates/files to just 7 files. When I create a new file via File>New(with Template), I am offered 20 files, but I was expecting my simplified list. Is there any other configuration I am missing? Many thanks. -- Geoff 33 Ashbury Close, Cambridge CB1 3RW 01223 710582

GeanyBuiltInDebianButNoDebugger
by Geoff Kaniuk 14 Oct '20

14 Oct '20

I have installed geany-1.36 and geany-plugins-1.36 in my Debian-Buster system from the downloaded .tar.gz files. There were a few repeated warning messages including text like: modifier ignored, libtool: warning: relinking, 'g_type_class_add_private’ is deprecated. I am happy to pass these on if you think they are relevant. The basic Geany package seems to be working as expected, but the debugger plugin does not appear in the Plugin Manager list. It was built and is listed in /usr/local/geany. The Geany->Help->Debug Messages command produced: ========================================================================= 18:07:00: Geany INFO: Geany 1.36, en_GB.UTF-8 18:07:00: Geany INFO: GTK 2.24.32, GLib 2.58.3 18:07:00: Geany INFO: System data dir: /usr/local/share/geany 18:07:00: Geany INFO: User config dir: /home/geoff/.config/geany 18:07:00: Geany INFO: System plugin path: /usr/local/lib/geany ... 18:07:00: Geany INFO : Loaded libvte from libvte.so ... 18:07:06: Geany INFO : Can't load plugin:ibgeanypluginutils.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory 18:07:06: Geany INFO : Failed to load "/usr/local/lib/geany/debugger.so" - ignoring plugin! .... 18:07:06: Geany INFO : Failed to load "/usr/local/lib/geany/scope.so" - ignoring plugin! ... ========================================================================= and many more similar. I did not enable GTK3 as I was not sure if I needed it for debugger. Can you please advise me what to do next? If I do need to build against GTK3, then what is the best procedure? I think it may be along the following lines: A. Uninstall Geany and Geany plugins. How best to do this? It looks like there is a target uninstall: in Makefiles. For Buster my command would be: ~$ sudo -s make uninstall B. Enable GTK3 and build. There is an option --enable-gtk3 in ./configure --help for geany-1.36, but gtk3 is not mentioned in ./configure --help for geany-plugins-1.36 So presumably the plan is: ========================================================================= ~/geany-1.36$ ./configure --enable-gtk3 ~/geany-1.36$ make ~/geany-1.36$ sudo -s make install Then: ~/geany-plugins-1.36$ ./configure ~/geany-plugins-1.36$ make ~/geany-plugins-1.36$ sudo -s make install ========================================================================= Please let me know if you want any further detail, and if you would do something different to the above. Many thanks for any help! -- Geoff

String freeze for Geany-Plugins 1.37
by Frank Lanitz 13 Oct '20

13 Oct '20

Hi translators, developers and friends of Geany! As Geany is getting a new major release, the Geany-Plugins are getting too -- 1.37 will be released soon. (I'm so happy to write this after more than a year … ;)) In preparation I have updated the po-files for Geany-Plugins at github and asking you whether you could update translations, review them or maybe add new languages. As on Geany core, 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 also 2020-10-24 24:00h CEST. Let's make it the most complete translated release ever done for the plugins! To get most recent files you could just clone the repositories from Geany: https://github.com/geany/geany-plugins This can be done e.g. with git clone https://github.com/geany/geany-plugins.git Also at https://i18n.geany.org/plugins/ are statistics and daily updated files available. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ping me directly via IRC: geany @freenode (frlan) Jabber/XMPP: frlan(a)jabber.ccc.de Riot/Matrix: @frlan:matrix.org or via Mail: look above or some of the mailing lists. Happy translating! Cheers, Frank

String freeze for Geany 1.37
by Frank Lanitz 13 Oct '20

13 Oct '20

Dear translators and friends of Geany, After more than a year we are on the final road to Geany 1.37. I think these are great news. In preparation (and as always) I've just updated po-files for Geany core project inside github repositories and asking you whether you could update translations, review them or maybe add new languages. 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 2020-10-24 24:00h CET. This gives us about two weeks time to improve translations \o/ To get most recent files you could just clone the repositories from Geany: https://github.com/geany/geany This can be done e.g. with git clone https://github.com/geany/geany.git You can find daily updated po files at https://www.geany.org/contribute/translation/statistics/ too, which includes some statistics. 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. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ping me directly via IRC: #geany @freenode Jabber/XMPP: frlan(a)jabber.ccc.de Riot/Matrix: @frlan:matrix.org or via Mail: look above or some of the mailing lists. Thanks and happy translating Frank
