Geany Users ??

Post by Dinosaur »

Hi All

After using Geany for a while, I am disappointed in some aspects.

1. Remembering folded files so that the next time you open the project, all files are folded where you left them.
2. FB syntax support. It is there but nothing like FBEdit.(Sarge are you reading this ?)

Q: Has anyone here improved Geany with addons or config files that solves some of these issues ?

Regards

I am a Geany user, I guess i just got used to it.

I agree synthax check for FreeBASIC is very buggy and outdated.

What do you mean? When I close Geany and open again, it will re-open every file I was using.

Hi All

Landeel, Geany uses the word "Fold" for when you collapse subroutines & Functions to show just the:
Sub MySub
End Sub

Then when you select "UnFold" it opens all of the "Folded" routines.

In FBEdit, it remembers what is folded and unfolded, thus when you open the project next you can see what you
last modified or worked on.

I just wish that Sarge would make a Linux version of FBEdit available.
Does anyone know of a better FB editor for Linux ??????

Regards

EDIT: Sorry Sarge needs to make FBDebugger available for Linux not FBEdit
I wonder if FBEdit would compile in Linux and actually work.

FBedit is using the Win32 API quite heaviliy so that won't work.

But it runs reasonably well using CrossOver/Wine as far as I remember (never tried myself, but I think some forum members reported about it a long time ago).

A good cross-platform IDE is still missing for FB. fbPoseidon looks currently most promising to me. Unfortunately it is not written in FB so the community support (of FB-people) will be limited and it's (currently) developed by a single guy. (But that was also the case with FBedit, FBide and many other IDEs for FB.)

For debugging you can use QtCreator. It does not support FreeBasic, but it provides a basic UI for debugging using GDB.
