Meant to get back sooner - covid-19 & other stuff going on.
In answer to your question (highlighted), yes, uh no, uh... maybe?

I want Geany to automatically show if a file was opened w/o correct
permissions to edit & save in same path, the way many editors do.
In Geany, you have to *manually* go into a menu to mark it RO.  If you
opened a file w/o correct permissions, it is read only, as far as
editing & saving it to the same location.

Apparently Geany doesn't have prefs to automatically change tab style
for files opened as RO?

Many editors allow preferences to change tab BG and / or font color for
files opened as RO.  The editors that offer such prefs, probably do it
for a reason.
Thanks.
