Suppress errors from vicmd

Question

If I use Geany for my editor:

set vicmd='geany &'

when opening a file, it prints all the warning and errors over the vifm window. How can I prevent that? I tried %i like this with no luck:

set vicmd='geany %i &'

Thank you

Answer 1

Probably like this:

set vicmd='geany 2>/dev/null'

I tried this, but it keeps vifm busy until I close geany. Do I need to include & at the end like this?

set vicmd='geany 2>/dev/null &'

Yes, seems like Geany doesn't detach by default (I've never used it myself).
