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.
Right. Secretly adding filename extensions is weird behaviour. However, you could always just have the dialog prompt the user to add the extension if they forgot it.
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.
Allowing any extension for Geany project files is probably just configurability for configurability's sake. It's not really that much of a bother for users to use a specific filename extension for a very specific sort of file, IMO.
