I just checked and it's still version 1.27 via the software manager. So since i havebeen a linux user for about a week. I have to find out if its acceptable to go outsidethe respository (none of that in windows) to get more up to date versions. But nowI am aware of linux also getting dependent software also. That's so cool. And linuxdownloads AND installs the software in the right place and I cant mess with them. Another cool thing.

1.27 I think it came with mint. So I guess I should upgrade.
Yes, I'm afraid old versions are one downside of stable distros like Mint, on the other hand most of their stuff doesn't suffer from bleeding edge bugs.
Just be aware that both Debian and Ubuntu (the underlying distros that Mint is based on and where you would get your upgrade from) have switched to the GTK3 version of Geany for 1.33, might be better to stick to 1.32, it still has the Arduino filetype.
Thanks

Yes, I now know how Geany works as I have been fighting this for a whole day. I don't know what it doesnt like. I may just do another installation of it.
I have another issue trying to create filetypes for *.ino files (arduino) but that doesnt seem to work. I have been ALL OVER the manual and I dont know what I am doing wrong.
What version of Geany are you using? The current release (1.33) comes with an Arduino filetype that .ino maps to.
I will start another topic though and not include it in this.
Thanks for your help. I had just installed linux and got rid of windows so thats another hurdle I am working with. Way different than Windows. Windows is like a personnal computer linux is like working at a terminal and there's a main frame somewhere on campus ; )
Well, thats what it was when Unix was first conceived :)

What directory is 'pythonbuild.py' located in and what was the working directory when you ran the CLI command?
has always been in /home/joe I am running the CLI from there also the working directory is dev/Arduino/sample/sample.ino which is relative to my ~ location. The abs path of the working directory would be /home/joe/dev/Arduino/sample/sample.ino
If your command is 'python pythonbuild.py dev/Arduino/sample/sample.ino' then it must be executed in the directory that contains 'pythonbuild.py' since the path is given relative to the working directory (and so is 'dev/Arduino/sample/sample.ino' but we havn't gotten to it yet :).
yes, that is true
Geany commands (by default) run with a working directory that is the directory of the current file displayed in the edit area, you can change this in the "working directory" column of the "set build commands" dialog to make it a fixed location such as the directory where 'pythonbuild.py' lives.
so your saying move pythonbuild to my working directory, correct ? Ok, I will try that. So maybe the problem is the there is no way for the working directory to get to reference the up stream directory ? as in its ok to drill down but not up ?? I will try try moving the *.py file to the working directory.
Yes, so the working directory is just use %d%f so the whole thing in Geany python home/joe/pythonbuild.py %d/%f
but I get Invalid working directory "/home/joe/dev/Arduino/4X20OLED/4X20OLED.ino"
