Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or unsubscribe. You are receiving this because you modified the open/close state. Or maybe the packager just made a mistake. That has happened in the past, and perhaps it has again. Perhaps Ubuntu/Mint don't provide some dependency of the plugin, so they can't make it available. So I don't know why markdown is not provided by them, for example it is available on Fedora. So its not going to change just because you don't have the libraries installed for markdown.Īs I said above, the Geany project doesn't make the distribution packages for Ubuntu/Mint (or any distribution). Thats the Plugins collection project website, its not specific to your install, or even to Ubuntu/Mint or other distribution. It is slightly misleading having the web page up but no libraries installed. It displays files and directories in a tree view and has more features than the file browser plugin delivered with Geany itself. If I get a clear response from Ubuntu I shall forward it to Matthew in the spirit of being helpful The TreeBrowser plugin for Geany provides an alternate way to browse through your files. Going back in time (several years) I have found another plugin was suspended due to webkit dependancy version issues.Īs I have a work around using a python library rather than taking up too much time of others, I have closed to comment. I have raised a question with Ubuntu to understand if this was a positive decision to omit that plugin. I strongly suspect the web page owner is not the one who loads the repositories with the geany- plugin packages, but the individual needs to be aware the markdown package has not been included and it would help future users to be aware of the limitation.
So I still think the steps I took were appropriate. My apt-get command is only configured to use either Ubuntu or Mint repositories. The Ubuntu based version (the defaultone) is guaranteed to work with Ubuntu packages.' One is based on Ubuntu, the otherone (LMDE) is based on Debian. The general advice provided by Linux Mint community about Ubuntu packages is as follows:'Linux Mint comes in two flavours. Try running Geany without any configuration geany -c /tmp/does_not_exist and see if it is still enabled.Īs I said above, plugins are created and maintained by individuals, not the Geany team (even team members are acting as individuals if they happen to maintain a plugin), so probably best to report it on geany-plugins where the markdown plugin is maintained.
Since there are no other reports of markdown being permanently enabled I suspect it probably is just you, hence my concern you were mixing packages. That is not the case with markdown, but maybe markdown or another plugin is confusing something when it registers with Geany. Plugins can have inter-dependencies and, if another plugin depends on it, a plugin is no longer removable until the other plugin is closed. As a Geany developer I build Geany/Plugins from Git, I don't install from distros, so I know what is/is not built and installed on my system, and Markdown Plugin is not built because I have not installed its build dependencies because I don't use markdown.
