Hi,
lately i have been using several files at the same moment (from 20 to 50) and i'm actively using them, so i can't close them. and some time i need to look at 2 files at the same time.
is there any way to open a second instance of geany to have my files divided in 2? the tabs system is great but with so many files is a trouble for me.
Regards, Shadow.

Yes, you can by launching Geany with the command-line option --new-instance (or -i, its short name): $ geany -i [FILE...]
Note that the first launched instance is still the "main" one, so you need to use File->Open from that second instance to open an additional file in it. Opening a file with your file browser or with the command-line will still open in the first Geany's window.

thanks :D

Also, just running 'geany' when the main instance is already open will create a new instance. This is handy so you can just click a desktop Geany launcher for a new instance.
Also, if you need session support in new instances, try using projects.

Hi Shadow,
you can also go into "Tools", "Plugins manager", and check the "Split window" plugin.
You should maybe restart Geany (I'm not sure !).
Hence, you just have to go into "Tools" again and to select "Split window ->"

No restart needed in most cases.

But please be careful. Split window plugin is a bit away from being ready.

It should be safe to use the plugin, but obviously some editing features are not supported in the split window; you sometimes have to switch back to the main notebook window.
It's useful as a view into a document, not that useful for editing.

Well, that was my intention to say. ;)
