I agree, we should do this.
Really? I don't like this. This reminds me of the ugly ".txt" problem with Windows Notepad. In Windows XP(maybe also in versions before) you can't save a file with Windows Notepad without the .txt extension. This was driving me crazy several times and I really don't want to add anything similar to Geany. Additionally, there is no need to enforce the extension of Geany project files to ".geany". Users can and should be able to choose any extension they like or no extension.
Maybe. But it makes finding a project file in the open dialog easier if it has the .geany extension.
- opening a project automatically closes all files from outside
the the project, if the file was loaded previously to the project. After closing the project, these file got loaded again.
Now I load the project first, and than the "other file". After closing the project, the "other file" is closed too. This is also the case, if Geany is closed with the project and the "other file" open. After the new start, all files are open. But again, closing the project will close the "other file" too!
Is this a bug?
It was done like this to make implementing the session support easier, but maybe it could be made a preference whether to distinguish between files under the project tree and files outside it.
I think this would make it more confusing than it would help.
It would be confusing going from not using a project with a number of related files open to opening a project, as these files wouldn't be closed. But for switching between projects it might be useful if someone had a general TODO file open or another file they wanted to look at whenever they were using Geany. But I'm not sure if it's really needed.
