[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Improve user experience when creating new projects (PR #3018)

Well, yeah, one could do anything, it's just a matter what's a realistic amount of work for such a minor feature - this would be a lot of work and a lot of refactoring to do (just check `build.c` and imagine you have to update every single build command for every single filetype where `%p` appears). I don't have time (and motivation) to write this and I guess nobody has time to review such a patch and I guess nobody will be very thrilled about adding code like that that has to be maintained.
