Hi Dimitar, Any plugin that is filetype specific must know which documents are its type. I wouldn't expect (for example) GeanyLatex to interfere with my C# programming. Similarly I wouldn't expect the debugger plugin to try to work on a language gdb doesn't understand, eg Java. Maybe you should contact Matthew, during a conversation we had on IRC he revealed a prototype for manageing all such limited resources, not just markers, in a consistent manner. Since the SC_MARK_AVAILABLE isn't, erm, available, for other recources such as indicators, Matthew uses the suggested boolean map method. @Frank, this would give a single consistent interface to acquire and release all limited resources, markers, indicators, margins and styles.
