advice2020 created an issue (geany/geany#4435)

Geany uses the following two locations for template files (Linux)

Geany Default Templates
`/usr/share/geany/templates/files/`
User Generated Templates
`$HOME/.config/geany/templates/files/`

In the Menu Bar drop down `File - New (With Template)`
Currently if any templates within these folders contain the same file 
extension, Geany automatically moves them into its own  flyout.

EXAMPLES
`apple.txt` and `orange.txt` creates flyout called `None`
`file.html` and `file_html5.html` creates flyout called `html`

To me this is undesired because user might want to have just one list of all 
their templates without any flyouts.

To me a better solution would be to allow folders that are created within these 
two Geany template locations to show up as flyouts instead.
Then user would be in control of the structure of this 
`File - New (With Template)` flyout, because they can decide what flyouts 
(folders) they want to create and what templates they choose to put into these 
flyouts (folders).

Currently viewing folders as flyouts is not supported.
If you try adding a folder to these template locations it can produce strange 
results because folder gets viewed as a template file (instead of a flyout) and 
when clicked on does nothing.


Hopefully others will agree with this suggestion.
Thank you to anyone who reads this
