See default Geany Python "Compile" command for example.
Interesting. Thank you. Learn something new every day.
Just to be sure, the rant was at the world in general, not you specifically.
Yep. No worries.
Interesting. I didn't realize they could. You'd think they would have realized it and done exactly that. It wouldn't surprise me if it's because they have so many thousands of programs that they take a hands-off approach when it comes to packaging.
Or possibly they didn't notice since it was only added in 1.38
That's the version of Geany I'm using in Kubuntu 22.04 LTS, so here's hoping they discover and use it for the next OS release. Meanwhile, I'll keep my notes on how it's done.

Thank you. Also very interesting and informative.
