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.

Tabify/untabify on selection only, in complete line
by Lars Paulsen 27 Aug '17

27 Aug '17

Hi All, I would like to know if there is a way to tabify/untabify a portion of selected text? I know I can mark text and change the indentation with tab/shift tab and that will also delete tabs (if configured). But it does only delete the tab on the start of the line before the first token. E.g. '-->token-->nextToken;' becomes '....token-->nextToken;' ('.' = one space, '-->' = one tab). I would like it to become '....token....nextToken;'. How can I do that, only for a selection - not for the whole document. Best Regards, Lars

Markdown for geany under CentOS 7
by H 27 Aug '17

27 Aug '17

I have been running geany under CentOS 7 for some time, including using it for markdown documents. I could not find the markdown plugin used for viewing markdown files among the plugins in the repo. I believe I do have it on another computer running CentOS 6. Have I overlooked anything?

How to hide pyc files?
by Chris Spencer 18 Aug '17

How do you hide pyc files, specifically in the Tree Browser? I've looked through all the project and plugin settings, but I can't find any field that lists extensions to hide.

Issues w/geany terminating randomly
by R. Mariotti 18 Aug '17

18 Aug '17

Hi All, I've been a geany user for 10+ years and have come to depend on it. I'm currently running version 1.27 on Linux Mint 18.2 with plugins. Recently (past week or so) I'll be editing a file and when I do something (not consistent) geany will terminate. While not that disastrous I've had to learn to save my file very few seconds. Has anyone experienced this and if so have a solution? Or might it have been corrected in a newer version? I see version 1.31 is out but I can't seem to find a binary or deb file anywhere. Any comments appreciated - thanks

Clipboard is not supported!
by ToddAndMargo 31 Jul '17

31 Jul '17

Hi All, Fedora Core 26 Scientific Linux 7.3 Geany 1.29 I dearly adore Geany as I can use it over an SSH X11 connection. Butttttttttt, it does not support the Primary Clipboard (mouse over and center click). It only supports the Secondary Clipboard (<ctrl>c< <ctrl><c>) -- a Windows thing. This is a real pain in the neck (not my exact word). It is annoying as *** ALL *** my other Linux programs support it and it is a muscle memory. Is there any work around or plans to fully support the clipboards in Linux, not just the reduced function clipboards that Windows supports? Many thanks, -T -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Computers are like air conditioners. They malfunction when you open windows ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

High CPU frequency and CPU usage on Windows
by Zoran Valentak 31 Jul '17

31 Jul '17

Hi there everyone. I don't usually use mailing lists, so forgive me if I do something wrong. I noticed on Geany installations on my desktop and my laptop that Geny uses significant CPU resources both in terms of CPU usage, which is around 20-30%, and in terms of CPU clock speed, which is closer to max CPU frequency state than it is to the CPUs low clock states. I noticed this on my laptop because I started noticing fan working a lot more than it should. Then I installed HWMonitor and set CPU monitoring only to find out that CPU frequency is set to max 2.4Ghz, when having a Geany windows in focus and especially when typing text, instead of the lowest CPU clock state of 1.2Ghz. This means that CPU temps go up and fan has to turn on. On my desktop it's the same story. CPU is at 3.3Ghz, max frequency, more often than not, while for example editing text in Notepad++ the frequency hovers around 0.8Ghz or in other words, CPUs low frequency state. Desktop specs are: Pentium G4400, 8GB RAM, AMD RX 470 Laptop specs are: Core i3-3110, 8GB RAM, Nvidia 710m I use geany with Spellchecker and Save actions plugins active, although I tried disabling all plugins, but it didn't help. Also I use geany 1.31, latest available. I also tested Geany on another computer running Linux Mint and it doesn't seem to be so CPU hungry. Is there something I can do to make my Windows experience of Geany less taxing on the CPU? --- Ova e-pošta je provjerena na viruse Avast protuvirusnim programom. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

Status bar, process busy indicator, build menu block
by David Barnes 30 Jul '17

30 Jul '17

@Brush: "Have you tried running the script from a regular terminal (or even Geany's builtin terminal in the message window)?" Perhaps I made this overly complicated. My scripts work perfectly. I have fifteen of them for different current working library sets. My scripts are not a problem. Those consoles/terminals work no problem. No blocking. Only when starting a console from geany. ---------------------------------------------- I do not use F5 key. When starting a new instance of geany, this is the command line: geany -i --config=/rdkl/.config/geany I work from multiple systems; this helps keep them all the same. Not perfect, but better. Version is 1.27 ------------------------------------------- @Trotman(7/26): "Because the output of build commands is parsed and displayed in the compiler output tab only one build command can be running at a time or their output will get mixed up and confused." per geany instance only, right? "So the build menu is blocked whilst a command is running. So as I said before, the command needs to start your terminal as a detached process and exit immediately to get the menu back. Did you try using &? On *x commands are run in sh so it should work." re: & Yes, did that - no defference. Normally: I have unchecked 'Load virtual terminal support' I have unchecked 'msgwin_compiler_visible' I have unchecked 'msgwin_scribble_visible' -------------------- ************ -------------------- Starting fresh this am: Single instance of geany: I re-enabled 'msgwin_compiler_visible' Dropped geany restarted - verified 'msgwin_compiler_visible' enabled Looked at the debug messages screen - no sign of a problem. Project build section looks like: [build-menu] NF_03_LB=console NF_03_CM=lxterminal --geometry=130x30& --working-directory=%d NF_03_WD= My geany .config build section looks like: [build-menu] number_ft_menu_items=0 number_non_ft_menu_items=0 NF_02_LB=file manager NF_02_CM=pcmanfm& NF_02_WD= NF_03_LB=console NF_03_CM=lxterminal --geometry=130x30& --working-directory=%d& NF_03_WD= number_exec_menu_items=0 Loaded one project. click 'console' button in build drop down compiler message window: lxterminal --geometry=130x30& --working-directory=/rdkl/FB_common/defines (in directory: /rdkl/FB_common/defines) /bin/sh: 1: --working-directory=/rdkl/FB_common/defines: not found /usr/share/themes/Lubuntu-dark-panel/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:682: Unable to find include file: "apps/xfce4-notifyd.rc" However, the terminal did start in the correct directory. Leave this up, change desktop, open a second geany instance, load a profile, start a console compiler message window: lxterminal --geometry=130x30& --working-directory=/rdkl/FB_generic/rlib_small& (in directory: /rdkl/FB_generic/rlib_small) /bin/sh: 1: --working-directory=/rdkl/FB_generic/rlib_small: not found Compilation finished successfully. console opened correctly no status indicator, no build menu block First instance of geany still up, console running, build menu blocked drop console in that first instance, the status indicator stays, build menu still blocked. Drop geany - reopen. (second geany instance still open) drop console on second geany instance now: Whichever geany I open a console on, it will block - the other will open correctly I can drop and alternate which geany has the block. Any subsequent geany instance will NOT have the build menu block as long as one is blocked. David -- If you don't try - you lose - automatically.

geany on Lubuntu in VirtualBox
by Peter Koukoulis 29 Jul '17

29 Jul '17

Hi I am running geany in both Ubuntu 17.04 (host) and Lubuntu (VirtualBox guest) 17.04 . My build settings are the same on both: compile : g++ -g -Wall -std=c++14 -c -lboost_thread -DBOOST_THREAD_VERSION=4 -pthread "%f" link: g++ -g -Wall -std=c++14 -o "%e" "%f" /home/bluefrog/SQLAPI/lib/libsqlapi.a -lpthread -pthread -lboost_thread -DBOOST_THREAD_VERSION=4 -lboost_system -ldl -lpq make Object: make %e.o Execute: "./%e" LD_LIBRARY_PATH is defined the same on both. When I execute (F5), having successfully compiled and linked, nothing appears in the terminal on Lubuntu in the VirtualBox, but when the same is executed in Ubuntu (host), all appears as expected. Could somebody suggest what it may be? Thanks

status bar and commands lock
by David Barnes 27 Jul '17

27 Jul '17

Started recently (during last 12 months, perhaps.) At times, a side-scrolling status indicator pops up on status bar. When this is present, all commands in build menu are greyed out. **I can find no description of this status indicator.** The only way to clear it is to close geany. Closing the file or the project doesn't clear it. Closing all other instances of geany does not clear it. The files are on a networked drive. I have persistent connections. I have all permissions. I am able to edit, and save a file while in this condition. This only happens occasionally, but means I must close down in the middle of work when I may have multiple files setup to make a set of changes. This is true for several machines I use. example pics attached This system: Lubuntu 16.04.02 Linux 4.8.0-58-generic #63~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP AMD FX6100 (6 core) 8G mem David Barnes -- If you don't try - you lose - automatically.
