How to force Geany to open unknown files as plain text/ASCII?

[that-ben]

Is there a way to force Geany to open ANY file it doesn't recognize as plain text or ASCII? I don't care for syntax on some of the files, I just want to see the raw contents. NotePad++ didn't have any issue in opening whatever and displaying it (even binary files) so can Geany do that?

[elextr]

No, Geany cannot open files with a NUL byte in them, it is written in C where NUL means end of string. Notepad++ is written in C++ which can handle strings with NUL in them. Also Geany assumes that the buffer contents are UTF-8, so as a file is opened its encoding is converted to UTF-8. So if it can't find an encoding that works it won't open the file.

[that-ben]

Oh geez, that is quite limiting, I wasn't expecting this. Any plan on rewriting Geany with C++ in 2024?

[elextr]

Rewriting as C++ would only help a little, so it proabaly could read NULs, but it is still required to be (convertible to) UTF-8.

Just a query, why is it so limiting? What languages have embedded NULs?

Geany is a lightweight IDE which edits text files, and can build applications from them, thats its use-case, and then Unicode covers all text. Its use-case does not include examining and patching binary files.

If you have a use-case for reading/modifying binary it would be better to use the right tool, one that is designed to handle unformatted binary.

[that-ben]

I'm not specifically talking about editing a source file that contains a NUL character. I'm talking about not being able to quickly peek at just any file (opening as read-only would have been enough for me). Geany refuses to open files that it does not recognize and this is what I call limiting. NotePad++ under Windows opened ANYTHING and never complained about not being able to recognize the file format or the language. It would display anything as plain text, even binary files.

I'm well aware of other utilities for this kind of job such as hex editors (which I also have) but I like to be able to quickly peek at files without switching apps when I'm working in an IDE. Kate under macOS looks to be a closer replacement to NotePad++ as it not only lets you open any (binary or whatever) file you want, but it also has a "Find in files" function, which I could not find in Geany unfortunately.

Thanks again for trying to help and good luck with Geany.

One more addition: Geany could be changed to be able to handle any files (including NULL bytes, without a recognised encoding) but it would require a lot of efforts and it needs at someone who is willing and able to do this and also resources for for reviewing and testing.

As said earlier, it is designed as text editor and it does this well.
After all, Geany is not Notepad++.

I should also add that it'd be quite easy to allow opening files with embedded NULs, I actually think it's just a matter of removing the check. However, it's likely a lot of features won't work right with the NULs, truncating some parts (and then, as @eht16 said it's totally fixable, but a lot of work and carefulness).

I think we discussed this in the past, and I myself wouldn't be against allowing to open those files read-only if it's something users want. However, I think others in the discussions were afraid people would still untick the read-only flag and start seeing bugs everywhere and complain, and that's probably a valid concern. We could possibly see what others would think could go wrong if we allowed opening read-only and prevented those files from being made writable, which would be a tad more work but probably fairly easy.
Then again, how useful would be opening those if you can't modify them? I don't know.

[elextr]

Its not just embedded NULs, its that files may not be UTF-8 encoded. How will Scintilla display non-UTF-8 files when it is told they are UTF-8? Will it be useful? Will it crash? Even if the buffer is read only will navigation and other actions work on non-UTF8 contents? And plugins, to date our guarantee to them was that the buffer was UTF-8 and no NULs? IMO its a very niche use-case that opens up a very wide problem space.

[b4n]

@elextr why are you so obsessed with UTF-8? I already mentioned that there is no reason why it couldn't be converted from some encoding to UTF-8: NULs are valid in many encodings, including UTF-8 (or at least in most implementations of it), so the only question is whether iconv supports it, which I believe it does.

[elextr]

I'm only "obsessed" with no NUL UTF-8 because thats what the buffer is assumed to contain by almost all of Geany and plugins. Scintilla will work with NULs, yes, but unlike you, I am sure that much of the functionality will fail to work properly with NULs or non-UTF-8, resulting in many complaints and wasting time on something that is NOT in Geanys target usage, as noted by @eht16 above.

If iconv can convert random bytes to valid no NUL UTF-8 then thats fine, and even better if it will go the other way too, then its editable.

As I am not an expert on iconv which of these is it (and how the hell does someone find out what they mean)?
