[Geany-Devel] Any votes for a "Project-Tree" plugin?

[Oly]

Martin i just pushed the code, only tested using geanypy in my repo which
should be the latest, i think it pulls from git automatically and
repackages it for me.

i normally checkout the projects and symlink them into the geanypy folder,
if you get stuck ping me on irc g+ or email with the error and I will do my
best to help.

also you need to add some project folders in the prefs, any sub folders to
that path are considered a project and will create a geany.history file
within the project and geany.project file.
