Hi.
Let me explain my environment.
I'm working on a web project. I have two "geany projects". One is for trunk, where I fix problems on the service as it is now and the other is a branch where I'm developing a lot of improvements.
I use a lot the recent file list as the project is big and has a lot of directories.
And now my problem. I'm fool myself from time to time opening the file from the incorrect project, as the recent files list is general, opposed to be project related.
Is posible to have the recent files list related to project? Or is it a violation of GUI standards?
As a workaround I'm not using the recent file list at all.
Thanks.

The recent files list is a global file list. From my best knowledge, neither Geany's project support nor the GeanyPrj is not currently supporting this feature, but IMHO this would be the right place adding this: GeanyPrj Plugin [1].

Actually, I suffer from this problem and I have already started to write plugin that can be useful in this situation. I am not sure if it should be part of geanyprj or separate plugin.
Here it's description:
You can create several sets of files, and ask geany to open one of them. All files that are not in selected set get closed. All files that are in set opened. Unfortunately, I don't have as much free time to work on it as I would wanted now, so things get done slowly.

I don't want to change the behaviour of the general recent files list. This should stay global, non-project related.
Anyway, nothing prevents one from adding an additional recent files menu for an open project.
Let's wait for Yura's plugin :).
