Why? Using a little batch script is easy and can be implemented by you immediately. Hacking some magic logic into Geany requires coding, testing, a new release and so in summary lots of times. > > Actually on Windows, Geany is binary relocatable. > > For linux it may be worth adding another switch to override the > `/usr/share/geany` hardcoded paths.

This is already possible at compile time using `./configure --enable-binreloc`. Please be careful with running different Geany versions with the same configuration directory, especially between 1.38 and 2.0 the handling and storage of session files and loaded plugins has changed and is only forwards compatible. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/discussions/3672#discussioncomment-7613672 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
