At times, I'm working on a project with a large number of files open. As the project has special needs for building and running, I've configure the project's Build properties accordingly.
Now, regularly I have do a quick edit in another program, and run it, but can't because it has other 'Build' requirements.
This presents a hazardous situation: If I close all files (to run the single one), I automatically clear the project file of the large project I'm working on. So I need to first close the project, then re-open the single file.
I see the following solutions: either
- Allow geany to work on several projects simultaneously (would be great) - When 'Close'ing all files if a project is active (or even when closing just one file), WARN the user that this will modify the project's file list too - When a new file is opened, ask if it is to be included into the project, else use the default Build Commands.
The above scenarios happened to me 3 times over 2 days. Of course this could be an indication I'm getting to old to do this...
