Understood - and your plugin is super-helpful with big projects, etc.

I typically work on smaller codebases, and want to 'get oriented' as
quickly as possible (and many of the files won't get put into the
custom hierarchy - it's there for clarification, not completeness).
For instance the project-tree plugin page itself
(https://github.com/mdda/geany-project-tree) shows how the file
directories effectively remove oneself a little from the purpose of
the different files, whereas the 'collected' version makes more sense
(to me at least).

Of course, there's nothing to stop someone from installing them both :
Which is why I don't plan on expanding functionality much (though the
hooks are there in the Python code if someone does want to).

All the Best - Martin :-)
