Which version of Geany are you using? Inside current svn version it should be possible by combining %d and %f in a good way. But this has been introduced after 0.18 so not yet available inside a stable release.
If you are running 0.18 or below I'd suggest to use a make file and set up a special target for your action so you could call it by make some_fancy_action or by using the make custom target menu item.
I'm running the last stable version: 0.18. I'm glad that the current svn version introduce %d (the directory I suppose). I think that the solution with a make file doesen't work for my problem: I need the full filename in order to pass it to the run command of my Xml project. This command validates the current file. So it can be anywhere on the disk, not specially in the working directory of the project.
One again, many thanks for this very nice ide. Didier

Hi Didier,
In 0.18 there s an option in project properties that sets if make runs in the base dir or the directory of the current file. Set it to run in the current directory.
Set the command in Geany to be something like "make Myfile=%f special_target"
and the make file to contain
special_target: the_command_you_want_to_run $(CURDIR)/$(Myfile)
At least thats the basics
Cheers Lex

I doesn't work (at least under windows, with nmake). The current directory inside the makefile is always the base directory, and not the directory of the currently displayed xml file. (with or without the checkbox checked for: make runs in the base dir or the directory of the current file) I think that I realy have to wait for the %d variable to be available.
Thanks
