Well, clearly it is starting it, the command window shows that. But it shouldn't run in a command window AFAIK, the output should go to Geany, its not much good going to a window which, as you say, only hangs around for a moment. Geany just calls a Glib routine to run the command, what version of Glib are you using? see in Help->Debug Messages Cheers Lex > > Ronald > _______________________________________________ > Geany mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.uvena.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geany _______________________________________________ Geany mailing list [email protected] https://lists.uvena.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geany
