This should work well, and
even if there is a problem with my grep, I wonder why I don't see any
error message.
That is likely the problem. GLib's spawning on Windows doesn't work with
everything. Try using grep from:
I thought Geany used CreateProcess() or some such from the win32 API for
this stuff? If not, maybe we could switch this code to use utils_spawn*
so that it does?
Find in Files uses GLib's async spawn, which doesn't work for some tools
IME.
Build/run commands use a synchronous Windows call which works but is not
asynchronous as it is supposed to be and so adds complexity to the code.
We really need an asynchronous spawn that works properly on Windows.
We could make FIF use the synchronous Windows spawn code, causing a
delay on large directories/recursion, but again the code to do this
would be messy as sync vs async are fundamentally different.
