Sorry Geany is hard coded to two places, see below.

Is there an environment variable I can set to define a list of dirs for

No.

Or, if anyone is familiar with the source code, where I can look to try

and add my own changes to the source and recompile with this functionality?

It should probably honor the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME variable. See: http://standards.freedesktop.**org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-** latest.htmlhttp://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html

It would seem however that someone has taken note of the standard though, as geany uses these defaults already. Is/should there be a bug for honoring the environment variables?

Geany uses the glib g_get_user_config_dir() function which uses $XDG_CONFIG_HOME on *ix and something windowsy on windows. If it is not using the environment variable (assuming you didn't override it with the cl option -c) its a bug in Glib.

But that only moves the user config dir, its not the list of directories you asked about.

Cheers Lex
