Really?
I don't like this. This reminds me of the ugly ".txt" problem with
Windows Notepad. In Windows XP(maybe also in versions before) you can't
save a file with Windows Notepad without the .txt extension. This was
driving me crazy several times and I really don't want to add anything
similar to Geany.
Additionally, there is no need to enforce the extension of Geany
project files to ".geany". Users can and should be able to choose any
extension they like or no extension.

I think this would make it more confusing than it would help.
