You haven't yet shown us a use case which actually does that. There is
almost never, with the rare exception of read-only source trees, a case
where the project file _cannot_ be put in the root of the source tree. If
the source tree is read-only then you can't edit the sources and geany does
the user absolutely no good whatsoever (except as a glorified text browser).

It would be interesting to know if the major IDEs support absolute paths. (i
have no idea, as xemacs doesn't use project files.)

LOL! i'm not envious - i'm glad i didn't have to "write the tools with which
