First the disclaimer: The Geany developers strongly discourage running Geany (or any IDE) as superuser. An IDE by its very nature makes it easy to execute arbitrary commands, programs, and worst of all programs __users__ wrote. The files that need to be edited by superuser are simple and do not need a whole IDE, its best to use a simple editor of your choice. Any damage or difficulties related to running Geany as superuser are not the responsibility of the Geany developers.
Then the answer: One of the things sudo can do is change the working directory to the new user, so Geany run as another user is not accessing the config in the user directory any more. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany-themes/issues/50#issuecomment-1250444936 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
