Depends on the way of implementation.
I don't like what geanyprj is doing currently. I didn't have a deeper
look but Yura, you call reload_project() on every document-activate
event? So, everytime a user switch between files, the plugin searches
for ".geanyprj" and checks the type of the current project.
I really don't like this. Disk-IO on every tab change.
Furthermore, I don't like the .geanyprj files at all. But of course,
some kind of cache is necessary.
I'm not sure. 

And just while testing the plugin a little bit, it crashed away ;-).
Backtrace is attached, steps to reproduce:
- open geany with an open project and some project session files
- load the geanyprj with the plugin manager
- Tools->Project->New
- Name: "tmp"
  Location: "/tmp"
  Base path: "/tmp"
  Generate files: yes
  Type: All
-> crash on Create.

Enrico
