Hi All,
Its about that time of year when we have our annual discussion on
separating session data from config/project data :)
By session data I mean the list of currently open files and MRU list.
The advantages (that I can see):
1. Save config/project as its changed and not rushed at quit time (and
the quit save doesn't happen in the absence of a working, portable,
session management capability)
TBH until proper multi-instance configuration sharing, I don't see
what's so great with "not rushing at quit time" since we already also
save one pref/project-prefs apply.
Open your favourite project in Geany and open a specific set of files
you need to work on a task, get the order of the files just right,
adjust the Geany window position and size and then get your find dialogs
positioned just perfect on your second screen. Now unplug your computer.
You will see :)
For me it takes more time to get Geany back in order (finding project
file since it's not saved in the recent project list[1], finding open
files related to current task, since they aren't saved in recent files
list[2], etc.) than it does to restart the whole computer.
P.S. My workaround (because my computer crashes a lot due to Flash) is
to get everything set up how I want for the current task, and then to
close Geany normally to force saving of all settings and then to reopen
it :)
Cheers,
Matthew Brush
[1] Well for favourite projects it might be saved, but not if it's a new
project that hasn't experienced a closing before.
[2] Unless you count the lame GTK+ open dialog recent files list which
is quite useless.
