[Github-comments] [geany/geany] "Save" of existing file in a mountpoint of archivemount is lost, "Save As" works for new files only. (#1774)

[db-inf]

I use archivemount ( FUSE  Filesystem  in Userspace) to mount an archive, with an empty directory as mountpoint. Writing to that mountpoint is handled transparently by archivemount: changes in the filesystem are visible immediately, but only written back to the archive on unmount. 

Geany can open both files that pre-existed in the mounted archive, and files that are changed or newly created after mounting the archive to the mountpoint.

But Geany's 'File/Save' operations are lost. You get the message "11:35:28: File ... saved.", without any error message, but the change is lost, the file is not changed, not even it's timestamp.

When you save an existing file with 'File/Save as' to it's existing name, the change is lost as with 'File/Save'.

'File/Save as' to a new filename works without problems: the new file is created, and it's contents saved.

I tried several other programs (command line, Libreoffice Writer, mousepad) with and during the same mount, and they have no problem saving existing nor new files. I suppose it is a Geany problem.
