[Github-comments] [geany/geany] cannot execute external format tools outputting to stderr (#1118)

All the Unix filters i know rarely fails, they just process `stdin` until they encounter the EOF, so i don't see the need to be that conservative.

I think the most user-friendly behavior would be discarding stderr completely and do the replacement in any case.
If the user is unhappy with the replacement he/she can still undo it with a single command.

I've also tried `sh -c '/usr/bin/bc 2>/dev/null'` as suggested, but it does not seem to work.
