I've been using Geany for several months on my home Linux box and like it so much that I wanted to use it at work - under Windows. But it crashes when opening files. It seems like this happens when the desired file is more than two or three levels below the root. Opening a file at root or one level down seems to be okay.
I have seen this problem for the last several releases of Geany - since 0.10. Also for each version, I have been using the version of GTK+ that comes with the Geany "Full Installer" package, but recently tried it with a version from another source with the same results.
I'm running WinXP, I think it's SP2, with 1GB RAM. I've attached the drwatson log and user.dmp files created when it crashes.
Thanks,
Bob Snyder

Can't reproduce this with current svn r1991 under XP SP2, I just opened a file
z:\dev\uam-client-svn\agent\internal-windomain\internal.c
and it didn't crash. I remember however that once I had a problem when geany ran under a user without admin rights and it crashed. Does your account have admin rights?
I attach you my binary, it was compiled using the mingw compiler. Does it crash, too?
Thanks,

I will try with admin rights today. But no attachment came with the message. Did my attachments make it? (there were two).

Yes, it was too big, so I had to cancel it. If you want the binary, I can send it to you off-list. The gzipped exe is about 1.3 MB big.

Yes, your attachments were sent properly.
It might be related to missing admin rights. I didn't test it without because on my Windows box I need them for getting the WLan interface to work, lovely Windows...
Maybe the file you want to open is not readable or writeable for your user? Or is any directory between the file and root not readable or in any case accessable to your user?

Yes, things work normally when I run Geany as a user with admin rights.
All the files and folders in the path are readable and writable by my normal 'non-admin' user. I have used several other editors on these files with no problem.
Tim, go ahead and send the binary to me directly using the 'from' address in this message. When you tested it with the file you listed was Geany running with admin rights?
Thanks,
Bob S.

Yes, things work normally when I run Geany as a user with admin rights.
I guess you are using a NTFS filesystem?

I'm 99% sure you will get the same result with my binary, because when it now works for you with admin rights, this would be the same old bug.
I send it anyway.
Bye Tim

Yes.
As usual, I can't reproduce it. I created a test user with limited access and tried to open a file in many subdirectories on a NTFS filesystem but Geany opened it as expected.
A gdb backtrace would help a lot. If I send you a binary with debug symbols, could you install gdb(a free debugger) and get a backtrace when Geany crashes? This would help a lot.

Yes. I have just downloaded gdb.exe from mingw and am able to run Geany and get the crash when running under gdb. Please send the binary with debug symbols. You can send it to my direct email address if you want.
