To make a concrete UI suggestion, I think the file menu could be changed to:

New File
New File (with template) >...
Open Folder as Project...
Open File...
Open Selected File
Recent Files

... and the Properties entry expanded to a sub menu:

Properties > Current File
Properties > Project Folder   (grayed out if no project folder opened)

And the Project menu could then eventually just be removed. The new Properties > Project Folder would handle any settings worth keeping in a sort of .geany-settings.yml file in an opened-as-project folder and therefore replace Project > Properties in the long run.

The Documents tab could then be automatically opened if Open Folder... is done, and list the opened project folder automatically with all its files (rather than just the opened ones), or if you don't want to expand it like that, there could be a separate Project Folder tab that otherwise looks like the Documents tab but behaves that way with listing all folder files rather than just the opened tabs.
