"Ensure new line at end of file" setting broken?

[lotkao]

Hello,

I removed the check mark for "Ensure new line at end of file" hoping it would stop Geany from adding a new line at the end of a file, but Geany is still adding a new line at the end of the file when saving. I closed and opened Geany, but that did not help either.

This is really annoying, as I sometimes open a file and change something temporarily, then revert the changes and save the file in its "original" state, but git still sees it as a changed file due to the added new line at the end.

I am using Ubuntu and the newest version on Ubuntu is 1.27-1, was this a bug that has been fixed in the newer version, or is this currently "standard" behavior?

If you are using a project and have the preference set on the project, it will still take effect. If you do not have a project open with this setting enabled, then it sounds like a bug.

Works on 1.31.

You hit the nail on the head codebrains. I was not aware that it is possible to set this specifically for a project. I removed the checkmark in the properties of the project and no new lines are added. Thank you!

We should definitely figure out a good way to warn the user in the UI for the settings the project overrides…

No, projects should be able to override EVERYTHING then we would not need to identify which ones. 😁
