Hi,

it is possible to set different settings for the filetypes, but it seems not to work with the tab settings.

I want to do the following: Normal files: Tab is 2, tabs shall not be replaced with spaces python files: Tab is 4, tabs shall be replaced with spaces I therefore put this into ~/geany/geany.conf: pref_editor_trail_space=true pref_editor_tab_width=2 and this in /usr/local/share/geany/filetypes.python: pref_editor_tab_width=4 pref_editor_replace_tabs=true but it didn't work, python files are saved with tabs, not spaces, and tab is 2.

in hope someone can help me, maix

Sorry, this is currently not possible. Only the settings which are listed in the filetype definition files(filetypes.python and so on) are available. As a workaround you could use two different configuration directories for Geany. Maybe the default one in ~/.geany/ for usual files and a another one, maybe ~/.geany_py for your python files. Then start Geany as usual for normal files and start it with geany -c ~/.geany_py/ for your python files. I know this is not a very good solution but it would help for the moment.
