Well, to be honest, I abandoned Geany since then, but the use case was this:

I wanted to use a keyboard shortcut to open a new file - for notes and such. The problem was, that calling "geany" with no params would spawn a new instance, which was pretty slow (not "loading an IDE" slow, but still too much for regular use).
It would be much better to just create a new file within an existing Geany instance. But that requires a filename, which brings its own list of problems:

• where should the file be located?
• how to keep the file name unique?

and so on. So I would have to write an actual script to do something that I still feel is basic functionality. And if I remember correctly, when saving a new file created through the GUI, the Save as... dialog would remember last used location, whereas with an auto filename it would open at the file's location.
