Comment (by kencu):
I installed geany on the current Intel system (12.5) using the X11 default
variant, MacPorts xorg-server, and otherwise all defaults.
I couldn’t get any flickering to happen, building several simple projects
and compiling/running them. So perhaps the flickering is arm64 only? I
recall hearing something about flickering in some gtk apps from John Ralls
previously. Maybe he fixed something for arm gtk apps that we haven’t done
yet…
The nicer icon and lack of “exec” box in their build are likely because
the geany project has written a nice macos launcher application that does
the right things to make macos happy. MacPorts is using a simpler
mechanism provided by the “app” Portgroup, which is very easy and works
broadly, but is not as full-featured.
The launcher they have written could be added to our geany build with
modest effort I think.
The launcher might also be an interesting template for something we could
use to enhance the app Portgroup someday… we have always known the simple
method used in the app Portgroup could be enhanced with such a proper
launcher, and there it is…
