[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Ask whether to open new files from command-line (#2369)

[xiota]

Can this be closed?

* It's been 2 years, so unlikely to be merged.
* I agree with... "it's not a great idea to stick more blocking dialogs in the normal flow for normal users."  (But I'd phrase it: "Agh.  Please stop adding more popups to Geany.")
* Is it really any easier to deal with popups than to just close the documents?  (Ctrl+W)
* Pay more attention to what you're typing?
* Use copy/paste.
* Here's a bash script workaround:

```bash
#!/usr/bin/env bash
for f in "$@" ; do
	if [ -f "$f" ] ; then
		geany "$f" &
	else
		if [ ! "$ignore_rest" = true ] ; then
			if zenity --question \
				--title "Question" \
				--text "File not found: \"$f\"\n\nCreate new document?"
			then
				geany "$f" &
			else
				ignore_rest=true
			fi
		fi
	fi
done
```
