Yes, it is. But this gave me a push to try not putting "%d" at all in the working directory field, lo and behold, now it works. It might be a bug or something very counterintuitive - I'm 100% sure that the file main.tex is in the directory listed in the message window, and I'm 100% sure that the file path is as in the screenshot, i.e. just main.tex, not the full path to main.tex etc. But perhaps geany passes the full path to the command? In any case thank you very much for your help. Best, Lukasz

Can these portable windows builds be trusted?
by Nikita Zlobin 29 Nov '21

29 Nov '21

Some time ago (few years) I searched for portable windows build. There's one, at PortableApps, but that's what I found now: https://portableapps.com/apps/development/geany_portable What I found previously is for version 1.24: with filename GeanyPortable_1.24.paf.exe I don't remember where I got it that time, so I assume it has same source, although I never used it. I searched it mainly because learning in university, where machines use windows, so using portable version was the only way in case of need to get geany on windows for some reason. But it so happened, that I never had such need (just carried laptop with myself). Now I went across this file and decided to check for updates. What's interesting - publisher is named 'Geany Team', with url leading to geany site. However, I found no info, leading to portableapps, at download page, github tracker and users mailing lists (though I did not check other lists yet). So question - can that publisher be trusted, is it really related to geany team?

Trouble with setting latex custom build commands
by Łukasz Grabowski 29 Nov '21

Hello, First time poster here - nice to meet you everyone! I have a problem setting up custom latex commmands. For example, I'm trying to have a command to run pdflatex specifically on the file main.tex in the current directory (this should work everyone, so there are no projects involved in my query) The way I do it is I just copy the standard geany command, and replace "%f" with "main.tex", as in the screenshot here for the command "make main.tex": https://maths.lancs.ac.uk/grabows1/web/files/1.png However I never get anywhere with it - if I run the command the compiler window just lists the command like in this screenshot: https://maths.lancs.ac.uk/grabows1/web/files/2.png and nothing ever happens. This is the behaviour I seem to always end up with no matter where exactly I put the custom command, or what command exactly is used, as long as it involes pdflatex. Any help would be much appreciated! Best, Lukasz

Geany color conf files
by Eliott Lechapt 23 Nov '21

23 Nov '21

Hello, I didn't know where to ask that, so here I am. I'd like to add a group of specific words highlighted in a different color from primary and secondary, is there a way to do that ? I get from here https://lists.geany.org/pipermail/users/2015-April/009593.html that we can not use the other reserved field. As it's for cpp files, do I have to modify my filetype.cpp, or is it in the given <colortheme>.conf ? If I can hack the stuff to add keywords to ppdefinitions, which is recognized as an entry, that would probably be the easiest. Regards,

Size of screen
by Jorgen Sandberg 09 Nov '21

09 Nov '21

Dear all, I am a new user of GEANY. I am using it on a Raspberry Pi 3 with a 7" screen (1024 x 600). Some of the menu items exceed the size of the screen and I can't move them up to make the OK or Save button available. Is there a setting limiting the screen to 1024 x 600 pixels?

Re: [Geany-Users] Users Digest, Vol 191, Issue 1 Where is the option to have all open files symbols show in the sidebar

My thanks to Tony and Lex Confession: a few days ago I was working on the Save Actions plugin confg location and I believe that I stumbled onto an option the would combine all of the symbols of open files. Shame on me for not saving where it was located. Anyway, Lex is probably correct, and Tony pointed me to the section that I already and enabled. Thanks to you both.
