Yes, it's pretty confusing. Once you create a project you don't expect that what you see in the build tab changes based on what change you make in the global settings (until you modify the commands in the project for the first time). This makes the project totally unportable because it depends on the global settings of the current instance of geany. So if I move the project from my home computer to work, things just can stop working because I have different global settings there. What I would suggest is that upon project creation you make a complete copy of the global settings and since then the two are edited independently. Otherwise all the settings is a total mess.
