[Github-comments] [geany/geany] session_split branch long term issue: applicability to projects (Issue #3015)

> Remove all the project code.

* This will break multiple plugins.
* This breaks how users interact with projects.
* This is the removal of an existing capability.
* Users aren't given any choice in the matter.
* etc.

> ... who will delete the session files?

The same entity who deletes the thumbnail cache.  The users, if they care enough about it.

It would be simple to keep a list (in `geany-[hash].session.conf`) of previously seen project files and to clean up session files (every restart, after *n* restarts, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, never, whatever).  (Users with lots of transient config files could choose longer cleanup intervals or "never".)

> I remember @kugel- being worried about that when geany.conf and session.conf were side by side, although I don't remember the context of that discussion.

Apparently no longer an issue anymore since the session_split branch has been merged without addressing it.
