Hmmm straightforward (not)...

I meant multiple sessions open at once so that files don't
automatically add to the session (project) you have open.

For instance having to close the work project (session) I have open to
open Geany files to try (and fail) to trace project load patterns in a
patch.

And IMHO the session stuff needs to be separated from the project
stuff since the session is per user but things like build commands and
indents go with the source tree.
