Problem
Whenever I create a new project, the Set Build Commands dialogue is populated with the standard Geany build commands. For example Compile: g++ -Wall -c "%f".

All my projects use the same build tools, which are more elaborate than the standard ones. I use explicit make commands for compiling single files as well as building the entire project. Configuring the dialogue in exactly the same way for each new project is time-consuming.

Geany manual
The Build menu configuration section in the manual seems to suggest that by placing a [build-menu] section infiletypes.cpp, then custom entries for the Set Build Commands dialogue can be configured to be the same for all new projects. However, this does not happen.

My Current Workaround
I have made a template for the [build-menu] section. When I create a new project, I copy the[build-menu] section to the newproject.geany file.

Request
It would be convenient if there was a way to use a template to populate the build commands dialogue at the point of project creation.
