[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Add 'File->Open Files Recursively' (#1163)

[konsolebox]

> Opening files in recursive directories is something that belongs in a plugin, not in core.

I thought it's doable, but I'm not sure about the idea of mirror-copying open-dialog-box related codes to a plugin.  Having an Open Dialog box under Tools menu also seems awkward.  But I can do that if I decide to.

> Also look at the project plugins (there are two of them at least) because they may do part of what you want too and also the treebrowser plugin which does recursive directory walking without too-new glib functions.

It's ok.  I can easily picture how it can be done with `g_file_enumerator_next_file()`.  Also, it seems like not explicitly requesting a GFile instance from an iteration function is better since we don't need it when we're opening a file.  An instance should only be created if we're opening another directory.
