I really like the Geany text editor, and would like to use it instead of gedit for all text editing. However, every time I try to launch Geany from the terminal using sudo geany file.conf, I get this error:
It seems geany can not create (or maybe access) it's configuration directory (should be /.geany or something in /.config), see if you can find anything there. If the directory already exists, you may have to edit it's permission, if not, you can try creating it (though I am not sure which would be the right place for it).
The details page for any plugin in the Geany Plugins project isautomatically generated by a shell script from the README file of the plugin,using rst2html from doctoolsand HTML Tidy. If you think there'ssomething wrong, feel free to report issues against the corresponding pluginat GitHub.The source code ofthis script (including the whole source for the plugins.geany.orgwebsite itself) is available on GitHub as well.
anyone try geany with heaps ? according this -development-on-android-tablet.html , i have installed haxe, heaps & geany in userland, but i dont know how to set class path in geany, can anyone help ? how about vim ? is it work ?
Visual studio is a nice program as well however I did not want to spend the time to learn it. I have been using geany for years and yes it will to the "Ser" thing, it gives you a list, select it and press enter. This works if it has been entered previously into your code. I like this for labels etc, For the commands I enter them manually because of problems I have had in the past with autofill. I like the symbol list, scrabble and terminal. It has a compiler tabe but I have never used it. I have had as many as 20 tabs open without a problem, some local other on a server. I simply set my IDE to use an external editor. I use it on Linux where I can shut the machine down and when I boot it back up I start Geany which loads everything that was loaded before and is ready to go. The Arduino IDE does this as well. There is a LOT it will I do not know about, I keep it simple.
I would try the following:
Open yast -> software management
search for geany
select it and at the bottom you can view and see the different versions from
the different repos - change it to the standard repository (oss) and see if
that runs more stable. It may be that you introduced inconsistencies by
using a mixture of software from different repositories.
I think I know the problem. This is bug in GTK or oxygen-gtk. When I tried to use oxygen-gtk theme fo GTK applications in KDE 4.6 and started geany I also saw segmentation fault. But when I switched to qt-curve geany worked fine. The similar problem was with nm-applet. It crashed because of missing icons in oxygen-gtk.
I would appreciate if someone can help me configure geany to add the option for compiling with Xetex engine to Geany. I assume it should be done using "Set Build command" and "make custom target". But I can not see exactly how.
Why should you care?
man geany
In the mapage, notice that geany can be invoked using -i , which serves to launch a new geany instance.
In the antiX control center, notice that some (but not all) items invoke a new geany instance (for config file editing, and whatnot).
This is more an answer than a question. I couldn't find much out there on getting geany ( ) and qpdfview to work together using SyncTex, so I spent some time figuring it out. The problem is (or was) that the build commands you can set up in geany's build menu don't give you a line variable for you to pass on to your build (& view) commands. I created a pull request that fixes that:
Where main.tex is the main file in the document hierarchy. Of course, for this to work, -synctex=1 has to be invoked when calling pdflatex so that the .synctex.gz file is generated. Here's my build command in geany:
