Problems with Geany 1.38 on new computer
by Gerald Brown 06 Jul '22

06 Jul '22

Greetings: I recently upgraded to a new computer and now Geany is NOT working any more. Previously I was editing files on my Raspberry Pi server at a local IP address. Now I can no longer open any files on that server nor save any files on that server. Also when I enter data at the bottom of the Geany screen where it says "Connect to server" nothing happens. If I enter the ip address nothing happens but if I enter "ssh://ip address" the box turns red. I have removed and reinstalled Geany several times to no avail for my problem. Any ideas on how I can fix this problem? Thanks, Gerald Brown

how to prevent multiple geany instances (linux)
by Dave Parker 09 Jun '22

09 Jun '22

Hi, I often open bash files from a script to edit by either doing this: geany "some file.sh" or this xdg-open "some file.sh" Every time I do that I get a separate instance of geany with the file. Is there a way to force it to *not* do a new instance but rather open a new pane or tab or whatever its called in an existing window? Thanks!

spellcheck and printing
by Ray Andrews 09 Jun '22

09 Jun '22

I think I've whined about this before but I sure wish Geany had a plain vanilla 'black on white' printing option. I use a theme with a pure black background and needless to say I don't want that printed. It's a nuisance having to fire up another editor just for printing. Speaking of which, I often use Geany as a general text editor, is it possible to have spell check? Again, I tend to write, then import the text into, say, an email program and have that do the spellcheck for me and it would be nice to have that onboard.

[ANN] Mailing list software updated
by Enrico Tröger 29 May '22

29 May '22

Hi all, this is some sort of meta news: the mailing list software got updated to Mailman 3. Everything should work as before except that you now don't need to worry about different passwords for the lists on this server anymore. Instead, you can register an account on https://lists.geany.org/postorius/lists/ and your existing list subscriptions will be listed in this account automatically. You only need to use the same email address for account setup as for the list subscriptions. And we finally, the list archives are searchable: https://lists.geany.org/hyperkitty/ The URLs to archived posts have changed but all previously archived posts will keep reachable on the old URLs (in case they are referenced elsewhere). In case of any problems or questions, let me know. Regards, Enrico

filetype, lexer, config file: using a new language
by John Gabriele 22 May '22

22 May '22

Hi all, I'd like to use the [Hare](https://harelang.org/) programming language with Geany. I see that the C syntax highlighting works ok so far (and it appears that [Lexilla](https://github.com/ScintillaOrg/lexilla) (which I understand Geany makes use of) supports C, C++, Java, and JS all using the same lexer: https://github.com/ScintillaOrg/lexilla/blob/master/lexers/LexCPP.cxx Anyhow, when I open a .ha file (Hare source file) with Geany, I'd like for it to just use the C syntax highlighting automatically, so I don't have to manually select it each time. How can I get that to work? I'm on GNU/Linux, and I see that I've got a ~/.config/geany directory. Looking at the manual, I don't understand the different axes of filetype def files vs config files ... I see that I have a /usr/share/geany/filedefs/filetypes.c file. Do I copy that to my ~/.config/geany/filedefs dir? After that, what do I change in that file? Also, why do some of the files in /usr/share/geany/filedefs end in .conf while others don't? Thanks!

Problem with pasting into Linux Geany from Windows clipboard (WSL2)
by Mario Pariona 19 May '22

19 May '22

Hi, I am using the Linux version of Geany in Windows 11 Version 21H2 (OS Build 22000.675) with WSL2 (so I am NOT using a virtual machine). My problem is that I can't paste from the Windows clipboard to Geany (but I can copy/paste from Geany to everywhere). I don't think it's about WSL2 since I can paste to Gedit and GNOME from Windows with no problem. My Geany and GTK++ version: geany 1.36 (built on 2020-03-22 with GTK 3.24.14, GLib 2.64.1) And if you find this useful: ------------------------------------------------------------- >>> geany -v (geany:1162): GLib-DEBUG: 09:30:18.072: posix_spawn avoided (fd close requested) (geany:1162): GLib-GIO-DEBUG: 09:30:18.083: _g_io_module_get_default: Found default implementation dconf (DConfSettingsBackend) for ‘gsettings-backend’ (geany:1162): dconf-DEBUG: 09:30:18.083: watch_fast: "/org/gnome/desktop/interface/" (establishing: 0, active: 0) (geany:1162): dconf-DEBUG: 09:30:18.084: watch_fast: "/org/gnome/settings-daemon/peripherals/mouse/" (establishing: 0, active: 0) (geany:1162): dconf-DEBUG: 09:30:18.084: watch_fast: "/org/gnome/desktop/sound/" (establishing: 0, active: 0) (geany:1162): dconf-DEBUG: 09:30:18.084: watch_fast: "/org/gnome/desktop/privacy/" (establishing: 0, active: 0) (geany:1162): dconf-DEBUG: 09:30:18.084: watch_fast: "/org/gnome/desktop/wm/preferences/" (establishing: 0, active: 0) (geany:1162): dconf-DEBUG: 09:30:18.084: watch_fast: "/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/xsettings/" (establishing: 0, active: 0) (geany:1162): dconf-DEBUG: 09:30:18.084: watch_fast: "/org/gnome/desktop/a11y/" (establishing: 0, active: 0) (geany:1162): dconf-DEBUG: 09:30:18.086: watch_established: "/org/gnome/desktop/interface/" (establishing: 1) (geany:1162): dconf-DEBUG: 09:30:18.086: watch_established: "/org/gnome/settings-daemon/peripherals/mouse/" (establishing: 1) (geany:1162): dconf-DEBUG: 09:30:18.086: watch_established: "/org/gnome/desktop/sound/" (establishing: 1) (geany:1162): dconf-DEBUG: 09:30:18.086: watch_established: "/org/gnome/desktop/privacy/" (establishing: 1) (geany:1162): dconf-DEBUG: 09:30:18.086: watch_established: "/org/gnome/desktop/wm/preferences/" (establishing: 1) (geany:1162): dconf-DEBUG: 09:30:18.087: watch_established: "/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/xsettings/" (establishing: 1) (geany:1162): dconf-DEBUG: 09:30:18.087: watch_established: "/org/gnome/desktop/a11y/" (establishing: 1) (geany:1162): GLib-DEBUG: 09:30:18.090: unsetenv() is not thread-safe and should not be used after threads are created (geany:1162): GLib-GIO-DEBUG: 09:30:18.105: _g_io_module_get_default: Found default implementation local (GLocalVfs) for ‘gio-vfs’ Geany-INFO: 09:30:18.129: Geany 1.36, C.UTF-8 Geany-INFO: 09:30:18.129: GTK 3.24.20, GLib 2.64.6 Geany-INFO: 09:30:18.129: System data dir: /usr/share/geany Geany-INFO: 09:30:18.129: User config dir: /home/mariopariona117/.config/geany Geany-INFO: 09:30:18.225: Loaded GTK+ CSS theme '/usr/share/geany/geany.css' Geany-INFO: 09:30:18.226: Loaded GTK+ CSS theme '/usr/share/geany/geany-3.20.css' Geany-INFO: 09:30:18.227: Loaded GTK+ CSS theme '/home/mariopariona117/.config/geany/geany.css' Geany-INFO: 09:30:18.235: System plugin path: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/geany Geany-INFO: 09:30:18.311: Added filetype CUDA (61).

Asking for help with geany
by Mohammad Amin Razbani 18 May '22

18 May '22

Hi, When I type my code in C++ like a hello world program inside Geany, it doesn't list variables I create on the symbol panel. As a result, I cannot use "go to function definition" and navigate inside the code. Could you please help me to resolve this issue. This functionality works fine with python. I use ubuntu 18.04 and Geany 1.38. Best regards Amin

How to get output in compiler
by Paul M. 07 Mar '22

07 Mar '22

Hello, I installed the program but I'm unable to bet any output to the Compiler. If I run it via Fn + F8 I get the output but not in the window within the program itself. The error is not in the code since it's just print("Hello World"). How can i fix this?
