Here it wasn't decided whether of not Geany should restore session. I suggest we discuss this question and finally either fix the bug or mark it as WONTFIX.
I don't often use Geany for opening files from the command line and usually I always have a Geany window open so if I do, it's not an issue, so I can't really provide a worthwhile opinion here.
As the bug report states, opening a file _with your file manager_ or CLI loses the last [default] session [if no geany is running]. The complaints we usually got were "I double-clicked foo.c and lost my session", to which we usually replied "use projects". So this affects the GUI, even more than CLI.
Yeah, I don't usually do that either. I almost always have an instance of Geany running on my 2nd monitor and if not, I'm usually not surprised by the behaviour since I do use projects mostly unless I'm just quickly editing a file or two.
Why not have a vote and finally implement or wontfix it? I volunteer to write the preference, as a graphical or vaiouus preference, if we decide "aye".
I have no opposition to this, though I wouldn't even know which way to vote. Why not setup one of those online polls and send a message to the mailing list(s) and see what happens?
