I've been using Geany for several months on my home Linux box and like it so much that I wanted to use it at work - under Windows. But it crashes when opening files. It seems like this happens when the desired file is more than two or three levels below the root. Opening a file at root or one level down seems to be okay.
I have seen this problem for the last several releases of Geany - since 0.10. Also for each version, I have been using the version of GTK+ that comes with the Geany "Full Installer" package, but recently tried it with a version from another source with the same results.
I'm running WinXP, I think it's SP2, with 1GB RAM. I've attached the drwatson log and user.dmp files created when it crashes.
Can't reproduce this with current svn r1991 under XP SP2, I just opened a file
z:\dev\uam-client-svn\agent\internal-windomain\internal.c
and it didn't crash. I remember however that once I had a problem when geany ran under a user without admin rights and it crashed. Does your account have admin rights?
I attach you my binary, it was compiled using the mingw compiler. Does it crash, too?
I will try with admin rights today. But no attachment came with the message. Did my attachments make it? (there were two).
Yes, your attachments were sent properly.
It might be related to missing admin rights. I didn't test it without because on my Windows box I need them for getting the WLan interface to work, lovely Windows...
Maybe the file you want to open is not readable or writeable for your user? Or is any directory between the file and root not readable or in any case accessable to your user?
