<p>There is a "filebrowser" plugin that is intended for navigating the file system, and that is probably a better place for things like creating new files since it can access any directory, not just ones with files already open.</p>
<p>And the standard required for a plugin (even a core plugin like filebrowser) is lower than for getting it in Geany itself.</p>
