Hi
I encountered a strange behaviour of geany under Windows. Geany seems to need Administrative Privileges under Windows, otherwise it will coredump when opening a file. Has anybody else expierienced this problem as well?
Bye Tm

Do you have a NTFS filesystem and perhaps not the sufficient read permissions on this file? Even in this case Geany should not crash but it is not tested under Windows yet(I have a FAT32 filesystem).

I do have NTFS and was thinking of permission problems, too. This is how things went: I had a user tit with group Administrators I installed mingw, gtk+ and geany under this user and all worked well I took the admin privileges off the user and geany started to crash. But the files I tried to edit belong to the user tit. I could edit the file with write and save it, too I granted Administrator privilege to the user again and geany stopped to crash.
I have removed my .geany driectory between tries and tested with the latest svn sources as well as with a precompiled geany 0.8, with the same results.
It might as well have to to with the gtk+ libraries. I use the ones suggested on the geany home page.

Interesting. I will make a little NTFS partition on my Windows box to test this, but this will take some time. Probably there is something wrong with the checking of file permissions under Windows.

I don't think this is GTK related.
