Ok, detect indent seems to have been released in 0.13 Feb 2008 with a default 
false.  (Version control never forgets :-)

My (admittedly quick) search of issues did not turn up rampaging hoards of 
users demanding detect from file be the default, so I'm not sure it should be 
changed, it might provoke rampaging hoards of users wanting it reverted.

For religious issues like indentation its probably better to have it enforced 
because as I said, detecting per file is not really correct, its usually the 
project (the user one, not the Geany one) that decides which religion is used 
for the whole project so there should be no need to detect per file.  Just a 
pity there is no agreed way of detecting per project.

Or of course we could hard code the holy grail, 4 spaces (my indent religion), 
and be done with it :-) 

Tabs were a good idea when coding was ed on clattering teletypes and disks were 
100k, not now we have Geany that can count indent spaces and disks of several T 
bytes, and as for two spaces, what is this? Emacs? [end rant]
