That's one of the reasons why I've written that Geany has "no real"
project support. That's a point that should be discussed too.

I agree. I work with my files structured by directories too.
Nevertheless, it could be a solution. ;-)

One question: stripping the path means, that all entries of the list will
display its path?

  src/main.c
  src/foo.h
  src/bar.c
  lib/xy.c
  lib/abc.c
  doc/README
  doc/LICENSE
  doc/manual.txt
  ....

If so, I would prefer the directories as node of an tree.

[-] src/
  main.c
  foo.h
  bar.c
[-] lib/
  xy.c
  abc.c
[-] doc/
  README
  LICENSE
  manual.txt
[+] folded/
  ....
