The default setting is use_gio_unsafe_file_saving which does the same as use_atomic_file_saving and fixes the protections and handles MS file systems that can't rename in some circumstances, such as files on cheap file servers. So its best to leave it as is.

But as @techee says those settings don't affect writing config files, session files and project files, so it would be a good idea to change it to something safer, either g_file_replace() since g_file_set_contents() but that might have issues on Windows. In fact that may be why Geany does not use g_key_file_save_file since it uses g_file_set_contents.

Oh wait, silly me, do it the Geany way, add an option for the file saving method for config files 😜

But as I said above, best to store everything along the way including modified buffers and settings and store nothing at shutdown.
