Hi ...
I have been using Geany a bit the last few days, and its becoming a quite useful tool. But I can't open files that is mounted in VFS :-(
Are there any plans of vfs support, or am I the only one having this need ?
I guess you are talking about gnome-vfs? If so, it won't be supported. As Tim mentioned, fuse is very powerful and provides (IMO) a cleaner way to use remote file systems while being completely application independent.
Hello, Enrico. Just thought you might want to take a look at Alexander Larsson's GIO/GVFS stuff.
He proposes an architecture that seems to unite the power of Fuse with the integration provided by Gnome-VFS. Perhaps it would be worth to take a look at it when it is finally done (although I'm not quite sure when this is going to be.)

This has been requested already some time before but I think it is much better and easier to use fuse or lufs for accessing remote file systems. Theoretically supporting gnome-vfs could be reached with a plugin. The plugin does the work with gnome-vfs and when opening a file via gnome-vfs it reads its contents and create a new file in Geany and put the contents in it. When saving this file, the plugin gives it a temporary filename on the local system(so that Geany can actually save it) and just put the contents of the saved file back to gnome-vfs, so the plugin would act as a kind of wrapper or layer between Geany and gnome-vfs. I will definitely not work on this and it is probably a lot of work. Again, using lufs or fuse should be much easier.
