[Geany-Devel] Setting Windows working directory

Hi Enrico,

We have had a report on IRC that running geany on the windows command
line will only open files in the Geany install directory unless you
use the full path.

eg C:\somepath> geany somefile.txt

will open installpath\somefile.txt not somepath\somefile.txt.

And with the "Open new documents from the command line" option set it
creates somefile.txt in the install dir since it doesn't exist there.

Suspicion is falling on

As the most experienced windowser (and the committer of that change)
could you look at it please?

Cheers
Lex
