Anyway, it is now working.
Things like indentation can be set for an individual file, so those are saved for files in the session. So nothing will change whilst the file is in the session. Also if a file actually has 4 spaces of indentation then it is likely that Geany will determine the indent to be 4 when the file is opened. You need to actually change the number of spaces in the file to your new setting by Project->Apply default indentation. > _______________________________________________ > Users mailing list -- users@lists.geany.org > To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.geany.org _______________________________________________ Users mailing list -- users@lists.geany.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.geany.org
