hi all, I&#39;m new to the list and somewhat new to geany.&nbsp; I&#39;m a developer and have recently moved from Windows + Editpad Pro for my editing to Linux + Geany.&nbsp; The move has been somewhat rocky, mostly due to the slightly different workflow, but there is one &quot;feature&quot; in Editpad that I really found useful and I&#39;d like to bring it to Geany.<br>
<br>Editpad has a sidebar file browser that is a mix of Geany&#39;s Documents sidebar + the file browser plugin.&nbsp; That is, it only shows open documents, but it reveals which directory each file is in, like so...<br><br>includes<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; pdf<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; - pdf.php<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; - file.php<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; - http.php<br>- index.php<br>- something.php<br><br>So if you&#39;re working on files in different directories, it gives you a visual representation of that, rather than a flat list of open documents in the Geany Documents sidebar.&nbsp; And it only shows files that are open.<br>
<br>Geany can be made to show the full path of files, but even if all the files are in the same directory, it shows the entire path (/home/adam/.....) for all files.<br><br>I was wondering if this functionality already exists in either Geany or in a plugin.&nbsp; If so, I haven&#39;t been able to find it.&nbsp; If this functionality doesn&#39;t already exist, would it be better for me to look into making a plugin for it?&nbsp; I haven&#39;t actually opened up the geany code yet, so I don&#39;t know much about what is going on internally.&nbsp; But I would appreciate some steering in the correct direction as to the best way I could implement this.<br>
<br>Thanks all,<br><br>Adam<br>
