We had several long discussions on this problem, with no conclusion
reached. Try "multiply instances" in the mailing list archives.

Geany stores separate file list for each project if you quit it
normally, or even for each running instance with session management.

A list autosave on open/close should check if a project is open and
save accordingly, which the patch does not do. It also seems to save
the list even if the open dialog is canceled.
