Why that? If such a user install a new geany, he will get another behaviour of the indentation code. So why not print a warning while migrating an old configuration file and than remove it?
You can't migrate a non-standard *hard* tab width setting.
I think I don't understand what are planing to do. Do you want to silently use the old "non-standard *hard* tab width setting"? IMO this isn't a good idea. So, if you ignore this old seting, it shouldn't be ignored silently.
What I'm really missing are the emacs modelines.
This is another subject. Try posting in a new thread.
I currently have no spare time. But as soon as I have the time, I plan to write a plugin or a LUA script to add modelines and timestamps (search for the sequence "Time-Stamp:" inside the first comment/lines and insert the date+time behind it). One point inside a huge TODO list. ;-)
