I originally started programming on a Borland IDE, which allowed me to place my projects files into a tree that was independent of their layout on disk.
I became so attached to it, I helped reimplement similar functionality for SciTE (scitepm).
(I'm not sure whether the attached picture will show up, but it illustrates how I like to group, say the 'cloud' functionality together in a web project, even though the elements of that functionality lie in 'templates', ' static/js', 'static/css', etc)
However, apparently SciTE isn't being updated in my distribution (Fedora), and it would be better to have this functionality embedded in something with forward motion - like Geany.
The functions that this would include are : a) Do a search upwards from the current directory for a suitable '.geany/tree-project.conf' b) Load a tree of files from some YAML-like format on disk, and put them in a side-bar tab c) Allow this tree to be edited (new sub-groups, add a file, delete a file, etc) d) Save tree to disk (typically this wouldn't change much once a project had stabilised - so the file could be put in git, for instance). This wouldn't include 'currently open' indicators, since they're more volatile. e) That's about it : Other tools look like they're already doing a great job for file searching, etc.
If this already exists, please let me know : I don't want to reinvent the wheel.
Have you looked at the two existing project plugins, Geanyprj and GProject and do they do what you want.
Not sure whether one of them can be used as basis -- but ... I think a lot of peob´ple hoping of some extensions of plugin project functions.
