Geany silently ignores my request to load the file. Rather rude behavior, I should say.
Reminds me of a mildly annoying issue—in that Geany will refuse to load a file with nulls or other "binary" data in it.
Sort of understandable, but it doesn't do anything but shrug it off. You have to take the file over to gedit or something to get a proper error about character encoding, etc. I long got used to it but it is a problem for new users.
Not sure if that is your problem, but may be part of it.
The other thing is that GTK apps typically don't handle opening from URLs, so make sure you have a properly mounted filesystem first. Either with fuse on UNIXy OSs or a Windows Drive Letter rather than UNC path, etc.
