eht16 left a comment (geany/geany-osx#59) I think all parts of the "open in view mode" are already implemented. In the file open dialog in Geany, there is a button at the bottom called "View", next to "Cancel" and "Open". This button does exactly what you want: open the file in read-only mode and so you can't edit it in Geany. The file is read-only only within Geany, all other applications can edit the file as before.
Alternatively, you can apply the read-only mode also to already open documents by using the "Document->Read Only" menu item. In both cases the notebook tab for the file will be colored in green to visually indicate the read-only mode. What is missing the ability to open the same file multiple times. In fact it's a feature that this is not possible. I'm not if I understand your described use case for this correctly. Would you use it to have different scroll positions in the various copies of the same file? -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany-osx/issues/59#issuecomment-3605931594 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
