Forked from Re: EuGeany 1.2
Some time ago, I documented a way one could associate .err with ed.exe, in the Installation (Section 2.? ). You need to modify the registry. When done you only click the ex.err file and ed.exe opens for you. Now, if we have a way of directing an editor to go to some line in a given file at the command line, you can strip out pieces of ed.ex and call whatever editor that can do that. But often it is not the inner most frame that has the problem. It is the caller of that routine, calling it badly for example.

Geany detects if there is an an instance of itself already running and opens files from the command-line in that instance. So, Geany can be used to view and edit files by opening them from other programs such as a file manager.
You can also pass line number and column number information, e.g.:
geany some_file.foo:55:4
This would open the file some_file.foo with the cursor on line 55, column 4.So... If we had a little euphoria program, as you have described, which could be executed from Geany's builtin terminal interface upon a crash/error, it could pass the filename, error line, and error column to Geany. Indeed, multiple files could be opened if necessary, Yes?
