"Applications may use the marker symbol SC_MARK_AVAILABLE to indicate that plugins may allocate that marker number". So AVAILABLE is specifically designed for our case, and it's Geany that should be changed, not scintilla. > Option 2 would be the most versatile in the long run, but would require > altering someone else's project purely for our own devices, and it would > require anyone using a plugin using markers to have to use the latest > version of geany. The old plugins may continue to use their fixed marker numbers, which will show as "allocated" [1] . They won't "deallocate" the numbers on _cleanup, but will "allocate" the same numbers if reloaded. [1] Unless somebody uses a marker without defining it.

A simple ui_utils function to find and return the first available marker based on SC_MARK_AVAILABLE would suffice. -- E-gards: Jimmy _______________________________________________ Geany-devel mailing list Geany-devel@uvena.de https://lists.uvena.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geany-devel
