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

[konsolebox]

> however I think it's better to integrate this into the existing open dialog. Perhaps with a checkbox ([x] open recursively)

I think I tried to do that initially, but I got into some issues that made me decide to just use another dialog box.  It's probably the difference in behavior between targetting files, and targetting both files and directories.  I can't remember if it was the stock button or the dialog box itself that's to be blamed.

Anyway, I find using another dialog box more convenient and faster to use.  I don't have to click a checkbox, or check if it's been activated or not before clicking a View or Open button.  Differing behavior, and programmatical issues that might occur are also segregated.
