<p>If you have to sudo to edit the file you have your protections wrong, you need to fix them, not override them by running editors as root.</p>
<p>To be clear, the Geany team does NOT recommend running Geany as root, it is an IDE and some of the things it does as part of a normal development cycle may be security or other risks when run as root.  You have been warned and you are responsible for any damage that may occur.</p>
