I don't think that's something everybody should need to do. >> Yeah, I don't usually do that either.

I personally do think what we do is definitely the Wrong Thing. Honestly, I always have found this behavior very counter-intuitive and not helpful. I mean, if I tell Geany to restore my session, I expect it to be restored whenever I start Geany, not only in some cases. OK, for me it's not a real problem since I always have one or more Geany instance open, but remembering the early times I did unexpectedly lost some session data because of this behavior. To summarize, I think that the current behavior will most likely NOT be the expected one and will disturb most users. See, even us do workaround that in some ways, either using -c or having an instance always open. So I'd say "aye" to Dimitar since he gently volunteered :) Moreover if it is a preference I don't see any loss; but I'd better see this preference turned on by default for new configurations if the restore session one is on. That's my POV of course :) Cheers, Colomban > > Cheers > Lex > >> I have no opposition to this, though I wouldn't even know which way to vote. >> Why not setup one of those online polls and send a message to the mailing >> list(s) and see what happens? >> >> Cheers, >> Matthew Brush >> >> _______________________________________________ >> Geany-devel mailing list >> Geany-devel@uvena.de >> https://lists.uvena.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geany-devel > _______________________________________________ > Geany-devel mailing list > Geany-devel@uvena.de > https://lists.uvena.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geany-devel _______________________________________________ Geany-devel mailing list Geany-devel@uvena.de https://lists.uvena.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geany-devel
