I don't think that's right: if you manually enter one newline, Geany will keep 
it, so you'd just have to insert the newline manually.

However, I really don't feel strong about that.  I understand it can be nice in 
some corner situations to be able to save a totally empty file (e.g. removing 
all content to get a truly empty file); but also agree with @elextr that adding 
special cases to features makes them more complex to follow (imagine the next 
issue: "Geany doesn't insert a newline in an empty file even when 'insert 
newline at end of file' is checked" :grin:).
So… whatever you guys think is fine, as you seem to feel more strongly about 
this.
