Many thanks - made progress but am having problem with the MarkDown plugin, as below.
I assume you are using the git source for markdown as it was updated
Correct
to that version of webkit2gtk after release 2.0.
One reason I'm upgrading to Geany v2 is that I had problems on my Desktop with the Markdown plugin on geany 1.38, all downloaded from Debian 12 packages (no compiling by me on app or plugins) - but I'm having same problems with compiled versions, as below.
When I installed and enabled the Markdown plugin, on my desktop it froze my environment completely - on restarting machine re-enable markdown plugin, now it wouldn't display any mark down files, even simple ones. Exporting the file as HTML using the plugin produced a working HTML file.
When I use the compiled version of geany 2 / markdown plugin, the same thing happens - freezes machine on first enabled, then doesn't display any markdown files. To compile, I installed the following libraries: apt install libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev
On my laptop, Geany 1.38 & markdown pluging downloaded from Debian 12 packages all work fine. There is little difference between the 2 machines other than laptop is a fresh Debian 12 install, desktop was a Debian 11, recently upgraded to 12.
Other plugins I've used, such as Tree, Autoclose, spell check, git change bar, all work fine, no crashes.
Does anyone have suggestions what might be causing this?
Note Enchant needs to be 2.2 not 2.3.
Thanks, this all works fine.
