<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>When you save an existing file with 'File/Save as' to it's existing name, the change is lost as with 'File/Save'.</p>
<p>'File/Save as' to a new filename works without problems: the new file is created, and it's contents saved.</p>
<p>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.</p>
