There is almost never, with the rare exception of read-only source trees, a case where the project file _cannot_ be put in the root of the source tree. If the source tree is read-only then you can't edit the sources and geany does the user absolutely no good whatsoever (except as a glorified text browser). It would be interesting to know if the major IDEs support absolute paths.
