[Github-comments] [geany/geany] WIP: Split geany.conf into geany.conf (preferences) and session.conf (recent files and VTE session) (#2776)

[Adam Morris]

I agree that separating the project file a natural next step, but I would have to spend some time getting familiar with `project.c`. I'm back at work tomorrow after the long Easter weekend, so it might take a while to come up with a proof of concept. I would lean towards keeping the project session files next to the project files, but I don't think this has a huge impact on the implementation (just change how the path to the file is built, right?).

If it's OK with you, I would like to move that to a separate issue and PR. I think what we have here my changes to `keyfile.c` is fairly self-contained and in a good state.

I am removing "WIP:" and I believe there is one outstanding point to be addressed: should geany clear the old session data from `geany.conf` + introduce a preference to enable this new behaviour, or should it just leave it? `dotfiles` users are presumably already used to dealing with exactly this themselves. A "clear history" button (as suggested in https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/1763#issuecomment-364176848) which checks `geany.conf` and (deletes?) `session.conf` would take care of this, but I see that as a separate feature for another PR.
