Hello Vasiliy,

there should be no problem with your approach (the extra content of the
config file will be preserved by Geany).

However, Geany offers plugins the possibility to read/write from/to the
project config files natively. When you register for the "project-open"
signal, the callback is invoked every time a project is opened and you
receive GKeyFile * config as a parameter from which you can read the
configuration using

https://developer.gnome.org/glib/stable/glib-Key-value-file-parser.html

Similarly, when you register for "project-save", you can write your
configuration to the GKeyFile signal parameter. You can also force the
emission of the "project-save" signal by calling project_write_config().

You can check my projectorganizer plugin to see how to use the signals (the
signals are registered in prjorg-main.c). You can also check

http://www.geany.org/manual/reference/pluginsignals_8c.html

Cheers,

Jiri
