Hello--

I have a minor technical question about custom build-menu commands and the context-action command for a specific file type.

I have noticed that build-menu commands accept command chaining such as:

command_1 && command_2 && command_3

whereas chaining does not seem to work when specifying a context-action command. The only workaround I found in the latter case was to call the shell with the -c string option:

sh -c 'command_1 && command_2 && command_3'

which effectively converts the chain of commands into a single one.

The command chaining is preformed by the shell.

The difference is because the build commands are run in a shell (on Linux) whilst the context action commands are not run in a shell.

As you found you can can manually run the shell for the context action commands.

I hope this makes sense -- or am I missing something about Geany?
