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

[Ellie]

IMHO more options in an IDE are usually good, if the defaults are ok. I think putting the project files inside the project folder might be a reasonable default at least.

Regarding the naming of `Project>New From Folder...`, just in case it was missed as I pointed out above this could make people think if a project folder already exists (e.g. cloned from VCS/a repo with geany project files already inside) that it wouldn't work, which would be a bit unlike other IDEs with this concept where you can just pick a folder and if it's empty it creates a project, otherwise it just opens it. That is why I think a more neutral `Project>From Folder...` might be nice, since then it could adopt this "create or open" concept in its behavior as well.
