Yeah, that is why I suggested all the "plugin" arguments are a single defined option with the plugin option name and value in a string value for the -X. The plugins are responsible for parsing all of whatever was passed to -X, probably easiest with regex if you are parsing lots of them, but strncmp would work simply too. Sadly my quick read of g_option stuff doesn't seem it supports multiple occurances of an arg, so all the plugin args should be in one -X, still given how popular this has been to date few plugins will need cl options, most use friendly keyfiles. :) Cheers Lex _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.geany.org https://lists.geany.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devel
