Since a plugin may not need to set [all of] it's markers for each file, and we may even have 0 buffers open, a guint map seems required, and I was probably wrong to suggest AVAILABLE.

Shoudn't the plugin handle this? It may reduce the number of markers used, work without them if non-critical, or do something else. > Bookmarks should also be re-written to only use the number of markers > as current bookmarks, not grab ten at startup. Ten markers? Wow, that's heavy. Different colors or what? -- E-gards: Jimmy _______________________________________________ Geany-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.uvena.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geany-devel
