I came from Eclipse, which supported multiple projects, and I thought I would really miss it in Geany...but I don't. Having separate windows dividing my projects has actually helped me keep things better organized. But to each their own. It's unlikely this will ever be added to Geany, and now that I'm used to it, I'd recommend Geany not be bloated with this unnecessary functionality.

Hi Lex,

thanks for the detailed answer. I already suspected that there is no real multiple project support.

That is something that I am really missing.

What I like on Geany is the simplicity and the de-coupling of the editor and other development tools (compiler, build system...). That is really a nice principle. All thumbs-up for that!

But not having multiple project support is IMHO quite an inconvenience.

Would it be theoretically possible to write a plugin for that? Or do you know any design constraints which would make this impossible?

Cheers,
Lars

Hi

Geany "projects" are just collections of settings and session
information, effectively named sessions, so it is not possible and
does not make sense to have more than one open at once.

The project plugins extend the semantics to consider the project
directory and the files in it "special", but as they are extensions to
the Geany built-in projects, they also cannot have more than one open.

I don't think there are any plugins that associate projects with files
and so allow you to have more than one open.

Certainly you can open more than one isntance of Geany, just be aware
that changes to settings in the configuration in one instance will not
be noticed by other instances, and the settings saved will be the last
instance closed.

Cheers
Lex

Hello,

I got a question about project support in geany:
Is there a way to open multiple projects at the same time?

I had a look at the plugins "Project Organizer" and "GeanyPrj".
Although this plugins improve the project support it does not seem to be
possible to manage several projects at once.

Am I overseeing something? Are there other plugins on different sites than
http://plugins.geany.org/ which support multiple projects?
Thanks for any answers in advance.

Kind Regards,
Lars
