And of course its only a problem in Gnome, Cinnamon and its apps don't have a

I haven't used the gnome feature, but maybe geany should only update Gtk recent
items when a file is opened directly by the user or saved. So opening files
from a session wouldn't add recent items.

Well, as per the original post, I would have no problem if Geany was adding
nothing ;-). I already commented it out on my git clone.
I do agree per-project recents would be a good feature, but I see it as a

Totally agree,
Geany is using GtkRecentManager, GNOME's system for sharing recent documents
across apps.
This has the consequence of gedit, and likely many other tools, having files
that were opened in Geany in their recent files list.
Developers work across dozens of files, so the recent files list in apps
