[Geany] Question regarding project management

[Tim Tassonis]

Hi Enrico/Nick et al

I have a question regarding the project management facility in geany.
I already apologize for asking questions that probably have been 
answered already and suggesting features that are already implemented...

So far, the project management seems to simply let you define the base 
path of your project, and the svndiff plugin now seems to honour this 
(works great, thanks).

But I'm not sure where else in geany the project definition is used.

If I open a project, create a new file and want to save it, the save 
dialog seems not to make use of the project base and sets the default 
path to the invocation directory. Wouldn't it be fabulous if geany would
use the active project's base path as default? Unless of course if the 
current directory is a subdirectory of the project's default.

Some more great ideas I have:

It would be nice if the project definition would let you override 
certain defaults of the configuration, so when you open the project, 
they would be used instead. I'm thinking of stuff like:
- Default characterset for new files
- Tab width
- Tabs/Spaces intendation
- Line wrapping
- Folding/autocompletion settings

Is stuff like this planned?


Bye and thanks once more for geany, I can't even think back to the time 
I had to do programming with another editor.
