Some more items to discuss... (low prio!)
_Detect filetype from first line_ Since v1.68, SciTE can detect language of file from initial #! line.
This sort of detection would also be cool for <?php or other tags. The detection should take place when creating a new file and when opening a file with an unknown file extension.
_File browser in sidebar_ With a shortcut to open the location of the current file.
_Hide empty symbol types in sidebar_ If a symbol has no declarations, don't show the label. This keeps the symbol sidebar clean.
_READ ONLY_ If you don't have the permission to save the opened file, indicate it in the title like "*file1 - READ ONLY - /usr/bin - Geany" and upon save (ctrl-s) open the "Save as..." dialog, instead of the tiny statusbar notification.
There was something else, but I can't remember it... Ah well, maybe I'll even post a pt. 3 sometime!
Cheers!

Ah, now I remember!
This is somewhat a vague one:
_Undo history -> diff in new tab_ Recreate the original file by undoing the whole undo history (in the background), compare it with the current version and open the differences in a new tab by parsing it through 'diff' (with configurable options). This way creating patches would really be a breeze! (Speed is not an issue on this kind of action...)

Nice idea. But I really don't want this in the core of Geany but it probably could be implemented as a plugin. I'll try to keep this in mind ;-).

Looks like this is already on the todo list: http://geany.uvena.de/Documentation/ToDo

Personally, in this case, I'd rather Geany try to do what I ask and then tell me if there's a problem (I get a beep along with the statusbar *and* status window notification), rather than try to guess at what I want it to do.

Yes, often requested feature and maybe somewhen someone will start to implement it somehow ;-). My motivation is still not very high because I like the open file dialog and all other things I can do on the command line. Of course, this is only my personal preference. Just want to point why I didn't implement it yet. Another reason could be that it is probably a lot of work ;-).
_READ ONLY_ If you don't have the permission to save the opened file, indicate it in the title like "*file1 - READ ONLY - /usr/bin - Geany" and
No. I think the green tab label colour as well as the green open files list item are enough.
upon save (ctrl-s) open the "Save as..." dialog, instead of the tiny statusbar notification.

I don't know where but I saw the Save as dialog when using Save on a read only file and I think this is a good idea. Other opinions are welcome.

Geany does this since version 0.10.

<?php was added in SVN r1697. Which other ones (examples)?
The detection should take place when creating a new file and when opening a file with an unknown file extension.
Geany already does this.
_Hide empty symbol types in sidebar_ If a symbol has no declarations, don't show the label. This keeps the symbol sidebar clean.
Maybe somewhen.

Done in SVN r1756.
