[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Easier project creation (#2245)

[LarsGit223]

> Projects are currently rather poor. Annoying to set up and they don't offer truly useful features that justify setting them up. This is why so many project plugins exist, but they rather add more features to the project instead of making the setup easier. But those plugins cross the line of "fast and small but with powerful features" because they're even more difficult to setup...I've tried them all.

I have added some simplifications in the last weeks/months to the Workbench plugin. It can now set the filter using the ```.gitignore``` file - so you don't need to type in the filter patterns anymore (but yes - you have to setup the option still). Also for quick setup there is a menu item "Search projects". It crawls through a directory for ```.geany``` files and shows the list of found files. Then the user can select which projects shall be added to the Workbench. At the moment the plugin does not create or change projects so there is room for improvment. Feature request/ideas are welcome but please open a new ticket in Geany-Plugins then.
