Hi All,
is there a API for plugins which lets a plugin create project files and fill in some values?
I do NOT want to add plugin specific data to an existing project.
I want to create a new project with some meaningful data (the fields/values of geany's own project data). After that I would add plugin specific data to it.
Best Regards, Lars (LarsGit223)

Hi,
There is nothing in the API for this as far as I know. You could just write your own keyfile, and open that. If you wanted to open it programmatically you would have to expose a function like maybe `project_load_file_with_session`[0] in the plugin API.

Hi Matthew,
thanks for the answer.
Yes, I wanted to create it programmatically. But I really only meant to create a project file. Not open it and make it the actual project. But there does not seem to be such a clear separation of project GUI and project file.
So I guess it's better to create/write my on key file. Also it might need to be adjusted if the contents of a standard geany project change.
Greetings, Lars

A keyfile is just a text file, so you could have a literal string in your plugin to write out (taken from a project file contents) or you could have a template file that you just copy to your new project location.
