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.
Sure, and it has the ".geany" extension by default and when typing a project name, the filename is adjusted and the extension is still there. It only gets lost if the user removes it. So, the user has to explicitly remove or change the extension and I think then he should be aware of that the file maybe won't be found "automatically" as project file. Anyway, the project open dialog offers to change the file filter to "All files".
