Ahh, on more consideration it will depend on which saving method you use: 1. if neither atomic or GIO saving is selected Geany opens and writes to the original file, that should honor the link, 2. if you use atomic file saving it creates a new file and renames it over the specified path, that will replace the link. This is what my system was set to when I tested yesterday. 3. if you use GIO file saving it will do the same as 2 unless there is a problem in which case it will do 1, so its anybodys guess, but on most normal local files it will replace the link. This is the default option. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
