Could someone please make a .pet for Geany 0.15 that will work in 4.1.1? Downloads are at http://www.geany.org/Download/Releases

I understand that it's also possible to extract the tar.gz file to replace the old Geany. Could someone please write down some detailed instructions on how to do that?

Thanks!

Artie

Dear puppians,

Geany 0.15 is also available at develia.org:

http://www.develia.org/tarballs/office/geany-0.15-i686-1_dvl.tgz

You can download it and run tgz2pet on it to create a dotpet. Then click on the new pet file to install. It should work in puppy 4.x but does not work in Puppy 3.01.

With kind regards,
vovchik

Puppyluvr didn't work. The package manager says it is installed but Help->About still reports 0.12.

Artie,
Go to /usr/local/bin and click the geany binary...
Then (assuming it works), reset your default Icon...
You didnt uninstall the old one....
It doesnt "update" or "overwrite" the old one
I know `cause I did the same thing... Very Happy

@The tarball in the post above doesnt need compiliing and has an install.sh inside...
It should work too, but havnt tested it as I already installed the 0.15 .pet
You could try tgz2pet, or just unpack it to a dir., open a terminal, and type:
./install.sh
But the .pet works, you just need to point the icon and menu to the new binary...
(Or remember to uninstall the old one first...LOL)

I found /usr/local/binary/geany cogwheel and it opens 0.15. How do I reset the default icon so it opens the new Geany? Please be very detailed and specific! Thanks!
