I already mentioned "--config" and how it seems to be something different from 
the "project" with its list of opened/associated files, etc.

"--socket-file" just says "Use this socket filename for communication with a 
running Geany instance", which doesn't help much. What kind of communication is 
that? Does it have some sort of "API" that I need to use or what? Why 
over-complicate something so simple/basic?

I'm truly unable to put this any clearer than I already did in my question. I'm 
simply trying to open new files into a specific Geany "project"/instance (from 
a script/terminal), but it seems to me as if this is just not possible. Geany 
seems to only support manually "adding" new files into a "project" via its own 
GUI menus. I never thought that *this* of all things would be an issue...

I'm still somewhat convinced that it must be possible, because it seems like 
something that would naturally "come up" at some early point when developing a 
program like this. It would be a complete mess to have all files in one single 
"project"/instance, even if they belong to different "projects". But those 
"configs" again seem completely separate from the list of files and other stuff 
associated with a "project".

Why isn't there simply a `--project="blabla"` flag I can use so it knows which 
Geany I want to open a file in?
