The application then silently receives the VirtualStore versions of files instead. I must have once tried to install geany without admin privileges, or manually copy over the data dir or something like that. This behaviour is really confusing if you're not aware of it. I think there is a way to tell Windows not to use VirtualStore for an specific application though, I'll have to look into it. In the meantime I just deleted the Geany dir under VirtualStore, all is now working correctly. FYI, there was a related bug a while back about this: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3566329&group_id=153444&atid=787791 OK, thanks for the info. Hopefully we can disable VirtualStore for Geany executables sometime. ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.geany.org https://lists.geany.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devel

To be honest I don't understand exactly when the VirtualStore path gets written to, but for Geany I think we probably want to just disable it IIUC it's whenever Geany writes out to files in %PROGRAM_FILES% et al. So if you open C:\Program Files\Geany\data\filetypes.foo, edit it, and save it, it'll go into that phony directory. altogether.

[Geany-Devel] TreeBrowser navigation
LOL, I guess I'm obsessed with using the backspace to move up a
directory. Is this where I email the patches for geany-plugins too?
I've attached a patch to allow the Tree Browser plugin to go up a
directory when you hit backspace.
I noticed that my previous patch for the File Browser plugin was never
applied to master. I was just curious if it will be or how that
workflow goes about.
Thanks,
Steven Blatnick
