Proposition: Remove the combo box. Add a paste icon on the right of files, above the Directory selection icon, and set it's tooltip to "Paste the project patterns, if any".
And it also blocks editing the patterns. The most common starting point for specifying custom patterns does not work.
It does, although a bit awkward: Choose project first, then custom. The project patterns remain and become editable.
I didn't realize that, my mistake. Click-move-click to fill the patterns and another click-move-click to edit them seems to be longer than my mental prediction buffer... :)
I dont feel strong about FiF, so do whatever you feel right. However I find the current combo box not that bad. The Project option is useful to automatically fill apply the project patterns. I do like your proposal of a "Paste project patterns" as well, but I fear that I need to press that repeatedly while now I can select project once and forget about it (even across restarts).
Valid point, too. Geany doesn't save the current Files value, so after restart, we can't compare it against the Project patterns when switching to another project.
