What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. open a bash script 2. click execute 3. ...Should see an xterm with the script followed by an exit code.

I have narrowed it down to needing $HOME/tmp (in our case home is /root)

Removing the quotes in the geany_run_script.sh will run the program as normal

I think geany_run_script.sh and filetypes.sh script in /usr/share/geany is the file I believe creates geany_run_script.sh

however, removing the quotes from around %f in filetypes.sh does not fix it

turns out that geany doesn't make the autogenerated geany_run_script.sh executable

the code that makes this file is in build.c

build.c already has which contains g_chmod

That's as far as I can go with this one

background: Delete the geany_run_script.sh immediately after execution to prevent leaking old copies when the script was quit unexpectedly (closes #2710482, patch by Martin Olsson, thanks).

• src/build.c: Remove quote_executable() as it is not used anymore. When creating the geany_run_script.bat use the "%0" variable expansion and quote it for the "del" command (closes #2797172).
• src/win32.c:

couldn't this be solved by using the terminal setting

/usr/X11R7/bin/xterm -e bash -c.
