That sounds like a bug.
Could you provide a step-by-step instruction to reproduce the issue?

By default, Geany saves the project file itself a directory above the
project's base directory. However, you can change that in the
preferences dialog.

Name and filename are not the same. Name can be any arbitary text which
is used as the project name. The filename is the path to the project
file into which the project metadata is saved.

Not sure about what you are talking here. Could you go into more
detail? Thanks.
