IMO the biggest problem of this proposal is that it introduces yet another (this time hidden) place where project files are stored. We already have
and what this proposal does is it introduces yet another mode:
Now imagine a user created a my_project.geany
file inside his basename
directory and runs Project->Open folder on it. He certainly expects the previously created project is opened like in any other editor but instead, the new, hidden project is created.
Or imagine the user just happily uses this feature only and then deletes the .cache
directory because he thinks it contains just temporary files. Of course, it could be also in .config
but the problem of more-or-less-invisible project files stored at a location that is totally separate from the project still remains.
IMO the main problem here is that we just simply can't implement the "Open folder" feature with the current way projects work in Geany without doing something ugly. I think there are just 2 right options here:
As I think (1) won't pass, I tried doing (2).
