Hello Geany Devs, Feel free to close this issue if you feel that the time investment or the functionality is not worth to be had for the geany codebase.
Situation: I have just compiled geany successfully (again, on a new computer actually). I am not yet sure whether vte was found or not by geany. I assume that it should work on my system; mate-terminal starts fine and I can use it, and I think that mate-terminal also makes use of vte. Would it be possible to somewhere add some indicator as to whether geany: (a) has been compiled with VTE support or not (b) whether libvte.so was found? The reason I would like to have these two parts as indicator whether everything worked fine, as far as geany is concerned. I do not have a personal preference as to where the information is stored. Perhaps a small mini-widget could be added that displays this information, e. g. compile-time information how geany was compiled. Vim has something similar on the commandline, e. g. if you do "vim --version", you get a lot of information such as a "Compilation:" setting that tells you with which options vim was compiled. As for whether libvte.so was found, perhaps a simple widget in preferences could be used, in the "Terminal" subsection. For example, if libvte.so (or vte.so, whatever the name was) was not found, a simple mini-widget could be shown under the Terminal subsection part, at Preferences, notifying the user that vte is unavailable in some red colour, or red colour of the widget's border. I am not sure if this is actually worth to file an issue request but as stated above, just feel free to close it at any moment in time! -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
