Since version 1.35 of geany-plugins, empty folders are shown in the side pane, too. Is it possible to make it an option in the project settings whether to show or hide empty folders?

Background: I use Geany for describing VHDL. We have a big repository with a lot of modules that are used in different projects. Until version 1.34 I could add the base directory of the repository as external directory and added the filenames of all modules I need in my project explicitly to the file patterns of the project (this is done by a script). With this I had only the directories listet in the side pane, that contained files from my project. Since version 1.35 all folders from our repository are listed in the side pane which makes it harder to find a specific file.
