[Github-comments] [geany/geany] No option to turn off directory printing (#2422)

It seems like that's duplicating what `make`, `ninja` and similar tools already do though, in addition to also confusing what the "Compiler" tab contains; not just compile/build output as described in the manual, but also some non-build status messages generated by Geany.

In any case, IMO the simplest solution, as previously mentioned, would be to add a new menu item to the context menu of the Compiler tab to allow copying only the _actual_ build output, and none of Geany's injected status messages. This way doesn't require adding any preferences or removing existing functionality or such.
