Hello Vasiliy,
there should be no problem with your approach (the extra content of the config file will be preserved by Geany).
However, Geany offers plugins the possibility to read/write from/to the project config files natively. When you register for the "project-open" signal, the callback is invoked every time a project is opened and you receive GKeyFile * config as a parameter from which you can read the configuration using
https://developer.gnome.org/glib/stable/glib-Key-value-file-parser.html
Similarly, when you register for "project-save", you can write your configuration to the GKeyFile signal parameter. You can also force the emission of the "project-save" signal by calling project_write_config().
You can check my projectorganizer plugin to see how to use the signals (the signals are registered in prjorg-main.c). You can also check
http://www.geany.org/manual/reference/pluginsignals_8c.html
Cheers,
Jiri

Hi,
I have a small Geany plugin that needs some settings per Geany project.
Currently, I do it as follows: the user manually writes a special section in the .geany project file, which my plugin reads as a generic INI file.
I really like this approach (as a user) because it keeps all Geany project-related settings in one file.
But is this approach OK in the eyes of Geany core?
