Hello!
Another useful idea for me.
Currently in geany Compile, Build and Execute commands are associated with file types and have two nice, additional variables (%f and %e). It would be very useful to add one more variable that would stand as project base directory (i.e. %p).
Could you give an example usage of %p?
In all my projects i use cmake, it uses out of the source builds. Here is example layout:
project/ .cmake/ src/ CMakeLists.txt
.cmake directory will hold all Makefiles, there is none in src directory. To populate .cmake directory you can use following command (in geany it can be run command):
cd %p/.cmake && cmake .. (currently this will work: cd .cmake && cmake ..)
It's not hard to imagine that to compile sources it would be very useful to have %p variable:
make -C %p/.cmake <target>
This could bring problems in case when project is not open. To resolve that it could be interesting to add certain project properties: compile, build and run that would overwrite default ones. Currently there is a similar "override" run option, but it does not provide %f, %e and possibly %p variables.
You're right, %f and %e could be useful for the project run command. I'll add this soon. I see that project compile and build commands could be useful, I'll think about this.
Thanks, it would be very nice.
