Much prefer it to not filter out directories.

Multiple extension filters in whichever form would be very nice, not
worried whether it would be by globbing or by regex. Whilst globbing is
quite familiar to most, regex would also allow exclusions (e.g. all
except .jpg, .gif, .png etc. that Geany can't edit)

Best: can there be an attribute of the project to remember the filter?
i.e. something that is remembered when switching from a PHP project to a
C++ project or a Python project, etc.

Also: standardised sets of lists via a drop-down, e.g. 

* XML type files: .xml, .xsl, .xhtml, etc.
* web scripts: .html, .xhtml, .htm, .php*, .asp*, .css, ...
* C++ files: .c, .h, .c++, .cxx, .h++, .hxx, .hpp, ...

I know, I know, go forth and create a patch, but... you did ask! :)
