Hi all,
I use to synchronize my dotfiles between computers by means of a git repo. geany saves some local state in its user configuration file so it changes after every session, cluttering my change log and sharing strictly local state between different installations. Is it possible to separate configuration items from state items? Or at least to keep the configuration options I've explicitly changed in a different file?
Best regards -- Carlos

Unfortunately not, there have been discussions about separating sessions information from config information, but there are complications and no suitable design has been arrived at.

IMO session information should be stored in a separate file. What are the complications?
