[Github-comments] [geany/geany] relative directory paths in Geany project (to make them git friendly) (#2483)

[Keuronde]

Hi,

I really want to have relative path in the geany session file.
Being able to deploy code ready to compile with IDE setup is a nice looking idea! 


So here is what I suggest:

1. Be able to open file with relative path from the session file. For relative path, the root path would be the one of the "session file"
2. Create a checkbox in the project properties to use relative or absolute path. 
3. Be able to save relative path in the session file
4. Deal with the base_path

Right now, I am on the step 1.
I have clearly identify were are the path read : function open_session_file, in file keyfile.c
I can tell if a path is a relative one or an absolute one. 

I am stuck because i didn't find an obvious way to share the absolute path of the session to this function.

Do you have any suggestions or comments?
