Thanks very much for your fast reply,

I was not considering to edit the code ... but will do so. Would you consider a change-request (I think there will be more users comming up with this issue)?

Hi,

thanks again to you guys for creating a great editor.

I've just updated my machine from xUbuntu 12.4 to 12.10 and find grep doesn't follow symlinks anymore if you use -r as a param.

See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=678652

As I have a lot of symlinks in my project folders this change in behaviour would force me to use -R, so where can I tell geany to do so?

From a quick scan of the source:

You probably can use the extra options field to specify -R.

Well, the question will be which behavior is the expected one, but I guess yeah, we could change it to -R so it gets the old behavior with any version of grep; given that grep -R is as standard as grep -r.

Well, neither is "standard", they are gnu grep specials, but -R has been there since 2001 so most current versions should be ok.

Cheers Lex
