Using the other function `g_file_enumerator_next_file()` would make the code messy as you would have to manage instances of GFile and GFileInfo as you traverse yourself. I also don't like converting it to a recursive function (if it may be the solution). I guess I'll just wait for a version requirement bump. > Can you discuss your use-case more?

I thought saying "most helpful when recursively opening multiple files in the second instance of Geany" was my trump card because I assumed that there was no way to open other files in another instance but it turns out that there's actually a way. So I guess I have to give other reasons why this feature would be helpful besides that. And one simply is the basic function it gives: It helps users open multiple instances recursively, whether they would be capable of doing that in the command-line or not. It's easier to open a dialog box than type `find /geany/src/ \( -name '*.c' -o -name '*.h' \) -print0 | xargs -0 geany`. And if we use `-c`, we would also have to remember the directory that the target instance is using. Maybe I could create a script for that - that's flexible enough to be configurable with the type of files I want to be opened, and the target instance I want the files to be opened with, but it's still much more convenient to just have it in a dialog box. I do it often after all. Reasons for opening multiple files recursively are pretty much obvious already, but here are mine: - Open multiple files of the source directory of a project I want to work on with (like Geany's `./src`). - Open multiple files of the source directory of a dependency I want to examine (like glib and gtk+ 2) so I would know how their functions work. I could access them easily with "Find Usage". - Open multiple files in /usr/include (like /usr/include/glib-2.0/ and /usr/include/gtk-2.0/gtk/ ) so I could have completion. That is of course not only about Geany. --- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
