[Github-comments] [geany-plugins] Projectorganizer: Add external directory is grayed out (#329)

[derba]

1 Click Project/New and create a new project Try to add an external directory It will fail, as its button is grayed out

2 There is a message that file patterns are to be set first Poor user may think that is the reason, but actually it has nothing to do with it

3 Add a new file, eg untitledc in your project Save it Still nothing changes

4 Oh, there is a "Reload all" button in Project side bar Click it Voila, you can add external directories

5 Now you can remove the untitledc, if you do not need it And actually that is my case The reason for leaving the actual project directory empty is that I want to have a project with 2 apps and their libs And I have other projects, with somewhat overlapping content So they cannot be moved to a Geany project directory (unless I do symbolic/hard linking)

Poor user thinks that Projectorganizer is useless Though it is cool, just some scenarios are not tested
