[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Create project's filename path (#2586)

[tivrfoa]

Hi,

Geany doesn't create the path specified for "Filename", only for "Base path".

So if we specify a path for "Filename" different from "Base path", we get the error:<br>
*`Project file could not be written (No such file or directory).`*

So the workaround is to create the path by hand ..., eg:<br>
```shell
mkdir -p /home/someone/projects/
```

So I think it is better for usability to ask users if they want the filename's
path to also be created.

I'm not a C developer, but thanks to the Geany guides I was able to come
up with a solution.

If you also think this change is important, then please review this PR
and guide me on how to make it better.

I only tested on Ubuntu and it worked.
