Personally, I’ve switched to Kate since then. Even though I’m using Gnome, I can’t help using KDE programs – Okular, Kate, Kwrite, Konsole – those are nearly perfect!

Lukas,

I decided to continue my Linux experience with Debian, which I find easier to maintain. So now I have no problems with “file format not recognized”… at least until I install anything manually, and I didn’t have such a need for quite a time now.

Moreover, I’m now using Kate much more often then Geany – as I’m primarily writing scripts for interpreters, and not for compilators.

Thanks for the output streams redirection hint! As I understood, you are “joining” stdout (numbered 1) and stderr (numbered 2) into a single “stream”, which is then sent to null, right?

Thank you! That helped me out real good.
Figured out how to solve it permanently?

BTW. About that last part: ‘geany > /dev/null 2> /dev/null &’ could be changed to: ‘geany 2>&1 > /dev/null &’.
