New App: Geany Portable 0.19.1 Released

I've got perl working, using the portable package from here.

I also had mingw working. You just need install Mingw portable, and then add @DRIVE\PortableApps\MingwPortable\App\mingw\bin to the PathAdditions section in your GeanyPortable.ini

You should be able to use anything that will run from the path, i.e. you can start a windows command line and execute, for example, perl a_perl_script.pl and have it work.

If you launch it from the PortableApps.com menu, it will change to whatever menu the interface is in.

If you don't use the menu, you can copy GeanyPortable.ini from the GeanyPortable\Other\Source directory to GeanyPortable\ and then put the language you want geany to use in the ApplicationLanguage= section. Use the same language codes that Geany expects.

That will also make Geany use whatever language you have chosen and ignore what the menu says to use.

It would seem so. Looks like the Geany Portable and Frets on Fire Portable download location got switched.

What's strange is I don't actually seem to have the ability to update Geany Portable via the updater. That at least is something on my end.

That's probably a problem with the base app. I'm actually not sure whats going on, but I'm pretty sure geany is messing up there.

My suggestion is to sign up to the geany mailing list and ask there if this is a known issue, or if there is a way around this.

As a kludgish and temporary workaround, do you want to use Russian primarily? You can override the in use language and make it work in english if you don't mind using english.

Yup. I need to research what it would take to digitally sign my releases I suppose.

I'm confused at to what you're trying to do here. The @Drive path information only relates to a method to allow Geany to access compilers. It has nothing to do with the Data directory.

I cannot update project files via the laucher, because I would have to make the launcher have a considerable amount of extra code to be able to find every project file in a directory, and then you have questions of should it also check any and all subfolders for project files.

However, you should be able to open those project files and edit the base path, probably even with a simple batch script.

If you have any more questions, please open a new topic in the other apps forum as news releases aren't the proper place for bug reports or an extended feature discussion.

yes and no.

If you try to run it right now, it will complain about not having dictionaries. Let's set those up

• Go to the OpenOffice website and download the English spell check plugin. Page Link
• Extract with 7Zip
• Copy out en_US.aff and en_US.dic to wherever you would like them. I put them in Data under dictionaries (GeanyPortable\Data\dictionaries)so they're protected from upgrades.
• Run Geany
• Click tools, plugin manager
• Enable spellcheck. It will complain about dictionaries.
• Click preferences and set the dictionary location to where ever you installed the dictionaries. In my case, GeanyPortable\Data\dictionaries.
• Celebrate. You're done.

That should solve your problem.
