Hello again.

I'm working on a wide variety of projects and languages; and for each one I use different geany plugins. For example, when I'm coding a website I use the webhelper plugin, which is pretty useful for having a WYSIWYG-like editor; but it reloads the website every time I save a file which is not that good when, let's say, I'm writing a LaTeX article, whereas the GeanyLaTeX plugin is good to have enable instead.
At the end of the day, I have to enable/disable plugins as I'm switching between projects.

Maybe I'm missing a better approach, but I think it would help if I could associate some plugins to a geany project, as opened files are; or, even better, associate some filetypes to plugins, like TeX files to LaTeX plugin or .md files to Markdown plugin, etc.

You can have different config files, with different sets of plugins enabled, and you can run multiple Geanys each with a different config (using the -c option) so you can use differing languages each in its own customised Geany.

Associating plugins with a project might be ok, but associating them with filetypes doesn't make sense, you don't necessarily want to close a plugin just because you switched to another tab.

The issue of plugins applying to filetypes you don't want them to is more an issue for the plugins themselves.
