Schemes don't show up #28

Closed liborty closed 5 years ago

.conf files don't show up in the menu

liborty commented 5 years ago

.conf files added to .config/geany/colorschemes do not show up in the view-change colorscheme menu at all, even after restart. Only the default and alternate schemes show as before. Checked file protections and they are readable.

What is the full absolute path to the directory in which you're putting the colour scheme .conf files?

liborty commented 5 years ago

I was putting them in the above path in my home directory. Thanks to your hint I have discovered that there is also /usr/local/share/geany/colorschemes. Copied them over but still no effect. Are there even more places for more confusion? PS. I did have to reinstall Geany recently as I had lost my disk.

liborty commented 5 years ago

Some progs also use .local/share in my $HOME, which is getting quite bizarre but geany is not in there.

codebrainz commented 5 years ago

If you're not specifying a -c option when launching Geany, it should indeed be $HOME/.config/geany/colorschemes. Can you please paste the debug output from Help->Debug Messages here?

I have now reinstalled geany from default ubuntu mint repositories, as maybe I had some screwed up installation. It is a pity that you don't provide linux binaries or ppa. The schemes now come up in the menu but say (null) and don't show any colours.

Not sure what's going on, maybe make sure /usr/share/geany/colourschemes doesn't have these colour schemes in it.

It is a pity that you don't provide linux binaries or ppa.

The Debian/Ubuntu package maintainer maintains a PPA here that provides binaries/packages.

Thanks for your help. I have now reinstalled from the PPA and installed all the colour schemes and it finally works! Still not sure if the problem was ubuntu old version or that I previously installed only some of the .conf files. Most likely the old version. Most of the stuff in the official ubuntu repos is ancient.
