Hi,

I've been using geany for a couple months and really like it as my
nedit
replacement, but I'm running into an annoying problem that I'm not
sure
how
to resolve. I maintain a "running notes" file in my public_html
directory,
its extension is one of our invisible php includes but I don't
want the
file
syntax-highlighting as a php file, I want to be able to create a
plaintext
file type that I can select that has basically no formatting
whatsoever.


If the extension you use doesn't apply to anything you want
highlighted then you can take it out of the filetypes.extensions file
so it won't be recognised as a filetype.

Otherwise you can set the filetype to none and it should not highlight
anything menu->document->set filetype->none

Cheers
Lex


Thanks for the suggestions, Lex, Matthew, unfortunately the issue I
mentioned below occurs even when I set the filetype to "none" (via
menu->document->set filetype->none). Digging through the preferences
again, I ran across "use indicators to show compile errors" and the
hover-tip explains that it underlines with the squiggly underline that
I'm seeing, but I have that setting turned off. It's strange because I
have geany installed on my centos box and my winxp box, and as far as
I can tell, the preferences for both are set up the same, but the <?
in the same file triggers the indicator in the centos geany only. Is
there something else I can try?


It could be that the CentOS version is really old and maybe there
used to be
a bug that is since fixed. Or maybe you have plugin on the CentOS box
that's
doing it but it's not installed in the Windows version. You can also
remove
the markers/error indicators using Document menu->Remove Markers and
Remove
Error Indicators, though likely they will come back later from
whatever is
causing the squiggles to show up.

Otherwise, I don't know.

Cheers,
Matthew Brush

Sigh. Yar, old version. Just checked and winxp version is 1.22, centos
is 0.20.


Even if it sounds like a big difference, versions went 0.20, 0.21, 1.22
so it's not *that* old, but still kind of old :)

Re the removing error indicators, I tried that as soon as I saw the
explanation of what they were, but it didn't work either.


That makes it sound like a plugin might be putting error indicators,
since using the menu to remove should always remove the ones Geany puts
there itself AFAIK.

I'm using the RPMforge version, the EPEL version is 0.21... I don't
suppose anyone happens to know if another repo has a newer version?
I'd like to have this be my default nedit replacement, which would
mean it gets dumped onto about 20 centos boxes, and I'd really rather
not have to do manual installs for it....


I don't know any, unless you can use Fedora packages or something.
Compiling from source isn't too painful if you can install GTK+
development stuff from pre-built packages, though doing it on 20 boxes
might be tedious. Maybe you can compile on one box and make your own
package? I have no idea what's involved for CentOS to do this.


Actually, linked from the 3rd party packages page on Geany website is this:

http://www.melvilletheatre.com/articles/el6/index.html

It seems to have latest Geany 1.22 for CentOS, but I've no clue if it's any good or will post your bank account info on Facebook before deleting your hard drive (hence being under 3rd party pacakges) :)

Cheers,
Matthew Brush
