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

[Enrico Tröger]

@codebrainz 
I agree that the current implementation is quite arbitrary about when to save. Though, in daily work, I guess this fits for most users. And yes, a more general config system (as you mentioned) with notices and a queue would be awesome but is a whole another story.

@elextr this PR doesn't address the issue with multiple instances which overwrite the config mutually. I think we should stop writing the config at all in new instances but again, another story.

@elextr I'm not sure how useful a setting for this feature would be. the config we write is only a few kilobytes and I have no clue if there are still any users out there who actually store configs on network shares or the like.

Oh, and I think this should *not* go into the SaveActions plugin as the plugin is for (auto) saving documents not Geany's settings. And actually, the code of this PR is triggered by the SaveActions plugin already via the "document-save" signal. So what you request is already done :).
