@codebrainz it would be good if its possible, but I currently can't see how without breaking the plugins existing, more common, use-cases just for this very rare problem. Hence my insistence on details. But also I definitely don't want to re-factor the existing save code so an external solution is good. > assuming it inter-operates alright with Geany's various file saving > strategies. We could probably make the Geany file write code use the fd, but unfortunately neither Glibs `g_file_set_contents` or GIOs `g_file_replace_contents` accepts a file descriptor, and nor could they, remember they write to a temp file and rename over the result file, they never write directly to the result file. I guess we just have to accept that there is a slight race condition risk `¯\_(ツ)_/¯` --- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/815#issuecomment-165081256
