Hi everyone,
in the last couple of weeks I've been playing with Geany on OS X and got it to the state where Geany is fully functional, integrated with OS X and have a self-contained app bundle so Geany can be distributed without any additional external dependencies. Apart from the few limitations listed below I'm not aware of any problems.
This is where I would find it very useful if the brave souls among you who are not scared of running unknown binaries from the Internet and who use OS X could try out the binaries I uploaded here:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2554438/Geany-1.25git.dmg
Any feedback is welcome.
Features: * Integrated menubar * Opening files from Finder using Open With * Opening files using drag and drop to Geany icon * Double-click on project file in Finder opens the project * Retina font rendering * All basic plugins (without extra dependencies) and themes included by default
Limitations: * The VTE terminal is missing (VTE doesn't work, seems to be a problem in VTE itself) * Scrolling the editor window is somewhat slow using the mouse
Requirements: * OS X 10.7 or higher (I have tested just with Yosemite) * x64 processor
I will try to get all the necessary patches into Geany mainline (some are already being reviewed, some - the integration ones - I haven't published yet) and will make a github project with the app bundle creation instructions + all the necessary config files, themes, icons, etc. I also plan to provide OS X binaries for all the future Geany releases.
Cheers,
Jiri
