[Geany-Users] Can't figure out "Project Organizer"

[Lex Trotman]

First of all, with no idea of which version or platform you are using,
nobody is going to be able to provide you with detailed information.

I am not a user of project organiser so no expert, and comments relate
to current git.

With a project open, project properties, project organiser tab, it
should (IIUC) index all the files with the header and body patterns
but not the exclude and exclude directory patterns when the dropdown
below says, auto, yes, no.  If its auto, then automajikally, if yes at
least on project open, if no, manually only, as you point out below.

See above.

Don't have that, suggesting you are using an olde version maybe.
