[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Save main and project configuration whenever documents are opened/closed (#2114)

[Matthew Brush]

> At least performance doesn't seem to be a problem: configuration_save takes about 1-2 milliseconds on my system and IO access happens in the document-related actions in any way.

I guess the only issue is if the config directory is on a slow drive like a network share or something. We could try it and if it causes people problems in reality, maybe look at adding a preference to disable it. I can't see it being much of an issue though as most programs do similar things.

The only thing I don't like, which could be improved later, is that it's still pretty arbitrary where the settings are being saved. In a perfect world, it would queue a save whenever the contents of the config file need to be saved.
