OK, could you send your ~/.geany/geany.conf please? It may help with  
debugging.

A few other questions, to try to nail down the problem:
When opening files, do you mean from the open dialog?
Does opening files from the command-line open files in an existing  
first instance of Geany? (i.e. does the socket code work?)
Also what distro/OS are you running Geany on?
Does the session restoring work for different files/at all?

Also, I made the changes to check modifications for
all files before closing all at once when quitting, and removed a  
filename limit of ~256 chars (but this might not affect your problem  
with session loading).

Nick
