Thanks for the reply Matthew. the command line arguments appear to be arguments for my target application so I wasn't able to change directories via that method. However, when I press the run button, i get several messages showing in the terminal window where I launched Geany. Those messages are:

GLib-CRITICAL **: g_string_free: assertion 'string != NULL' failed

GLib-CRITICAL **: g_hash_table_remove_all: assertion 'hash_table != NULL' failed

As for the second part of my question, you were on the right path. I was looking for a way to integrate with the debugger plugin from the execute comman window. Currently, I am launching ddd from the execute command window and it works fine.

I come from the Visual Studio world so I am finding ddd to not be quite as nice and easy to use.

`gdb --help` shows `--cd=DIR` "Change current directory to DIR". You
could probably stick that argument into the "Command Line Arguments" box.

Not sure if I follow, but you could add a build command to run GDB, of
course it wouldn't integrate with the Debugger plugin at all.
