I am unable to open a shared file which is on a linux host from my office Windows machine running Geacy 0.18. This apparently is a recent change in behavior. I have been able to create and edit shared files using earlier versions.
Here's what happens:
If I open an Explorer window showing the folder and the file, and drag the file onto Geany, I get the message:
"Could not open file \nn.nn.nn.nn\sharename\filename (No such directory)"
Note the host IP address is preceded by a single backslash. If I use the file open dialog and type in the path to the file, it will autocomplete the filename correctly showing that it can see the file, but pressing the Open button produces the same error message. Adding more leading backslashes to the path does not help.
Thanks,
Bob S.

Yo, known problem, already fixed in SVN. If you are keen enough for some experiments, try the nightly builds from http://nightly.geany.org :).
Sorry for the inconvenience.
