Hey there,

Perfect thanks. BTW, just to rant a little, not that there's any hope of change, Windows has us all so corrupted that we don't even know how much we've been ruined, still I'll say it: Geany, like everyone else in the GUI computer universe, suffers from the idea that the more hidden things are, the better -- the more buried they are in sub-sub-sub menus the happier everyone will be. Gates started this. We'd get a little dialogue box that offered a few simple super-catagories (keep it simple!) then we'd make a selection and there'd be another dialogue box ... another and another, till eventually we found the actual tic box we needed. Such fun! And, if you ticked the wrong box, and pressed 'apply', the whole structure vanishes and if you need to try again, you hafta remember all the steps you took and try something else and ... so on and so forth. Mostly you ended up ticking all sorts of things that only broke things worser, but we tend not to write down all the ticks and clicks. Why not one, big menu with everything on it? Catagorized of course, and even 'jump to section' buttons, but you can still see everything on one page. And the ability to save the 'profile' and restore older ones. Geany is one of the worst: Click a category and you get buttons on the side, and tabs on the top and little click buttons spread all over. Very pretty, but easy to miss things. The devs want it pretty more than functional and simple. Again, not to bitch -- *everyone* suffers from this. But if only we could liberate ourselves from Windoze-think. I worked on a GUI DOS browser a couple of decades back and we had GUI configuration options, tick boxes and such, BUT all settings were saved in a single TEXT file, that you could edit as plain text, save, rename, restore ... easy as pie and TRANSPARENT.
