[Geany-Users] Multiple projects support?

[Chris Spencer]

I came from Eclipse, which supported multiple projects, and I thought I
would really miss it in Geany...but I don't. Having separate windows
dividing my projects has actually helped me keep things better organized.
But to each their own. It's unlikely this will ever be added to Geany, and
now that I'm used to it, I'd recommend Geany not be bloated with this
unnecessary functionality.
