We could have a Tools-Save Config menu item enabled for the first instance to allow the user to restart other instances with the new settings. I havn't looked in detail at what the -i option does but I assume it doesn't use or accept socket connections. Yes. The socket code only works for the 'main' instance. If so then I assume all Geany commands without the -i will be the same instance, and this is the one that should be able to save. (If a second instance of geany is run without passing filenames to the first, -i is implied). I really like this idea. It is simple to understand, rather convenient and uniform with the behaviour of new-instances, i.e., those instances should not touch any global data, either the default session or the settings. Now committed, together with Tools Save configuration menu item. Though, I think we should think of a better name for it as currently Save configuration and Reload configuration mean different things by configuration, which will probably confuse users. There needs to be a visual distinction of instances that can can't save. I agree, otherwise the user might think there was a bug saving settings. Any proposal for this visual distinction?

Re: [Geany-devel] SM Client_ + Legacy_

It's stored somewhere in your home directory. Normally there would be one or more text files listing all session applications, with their XSM and window properties, under .cache or .config; and other files created by the individual applications. The Xfce SM uses text lines starting with Client_ for XSMP and Legacy_ for the previous (XAtom based IIRC) session protocol. Don't know about the others. -- E-gards: Jimmy ___ Geany-devel mailing list Geany-devel@uvena.de http://lists.uvena.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geany-devel

Personally I prefer one socket per desktop, with the same configuration directory. Now committed, together with Tools Save configuration menu item. I hope Save configuration works for all instances, and not for the main instance only, as someone suggested. With main, the options can be saved by Edit - Preferences - OK anyway, and I would like to be able to save them from a secondary instance, and run a new Geany with them. -- E-gards: Jimmy ___ Geany-devel mailing list Geany-devel@uvena.de http://lists.uvena.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geany-devel
Re: [Geany-devel] altername session management implementation
On Wed, 19 May 2010 14:17:52 +0300, Dimitar wrote: Hi, all, This is an alternate implementation of Eugene's X11 session support. The main difference is that the state each running Geany is saved into a separate temporary Geany configuration file. Each Geany is restored exactly it was before the session was closed, including open files, options (including applied but unsaved), per-document options (even if no project file is open) etc. There are no races when saving geany.conf, it's not saved at all. If you want to save the options, so that the next Geany will use them, just go to the Geany you want the options from and save them, exactly as you would do before the session was closed. Should there be main and option-saving instances, which ones, and how should they differ from the secondary instances? As Eugene pointed out, this is not related to the session management, at least with this SM implementation. Now we have two alternating SM implementations? Why? As you say, the configuration save problem isn't strictly related to SM and might be solved separately. Though I'm not yet sure what's the best way to solve this. I think I still like something close to the current behaviour: the main instance (i.e. the first opened one) is master over the config file. And any other instances are ignored. I guess the main problem here is that Geany was never designed to be used as multiple window editor, and IMO it shouldn't be changed to be one.
