[Github-comments] [geany/geany] How to hide a particular folder from history in geany? (#2194)

[Matthew Brush]

You could probably hack something with [the `-c` option](https://www.geany.org/manual/current/index.html#command-line-options) to Geany.

Something like this not well tested shell script comes to mind:

```bash
#!/bin/sh
set -e
temp_dir=$(mktemp -d -t geany-config-XXXXXXXX) || exit 1
trap "rm -rf ${temp_dir}" EXIT
cp -r "${HOME}"/.config/geany/* "${temp_dir}"
geany -i -c "${temp_dir}"
```

Save it as an executable script somewhere and then run that when you want to hack on the super secret stuff. You could also just write a simple wrapper script that opens Geany normally and after it closes, use `sed` or whatever to delete the `recent_files` or whichever entries from `geany.conf`.

Just a couple workarounds.
