Issues with project
When i work with projects, closing project doesn't close the opened files, but it records the project as if it has no files instead. So when the project is reopened after restarting geany, no file is present
tested on recent commit 3ca945a geany 1.23.1
Does it leave any suspicious output in the debug messages (Help->Debug Messages) ? Also, would it be possible to try it with latest Geany 1.24, and/or without any other plugins enabled?
ah yes, i have my own experimental geany but seems i cant install the plugin there even though i have set prefix on configure. So the overview-plugin just installed on my main geany 1.23, i'll check that later
@b4n added the --with-geany-libdir option to the build system for this. To get a non-standard prefix working here I had to use PKG_CONFIG_PATH to make it able to find the correct geany pkg-config file, but I think it's supposed to work with only using --with-geany-libdir.

Well, not really: the goal of --with-geany-libdir is to override installing in the found Geany's libdir. This is useful for distcheck or packagers, because they don't want to install outside a specific tree, and know what they are doing.
To build for a particular Geany installation, you still need to set PKG_CONFIG_PATH as appropriate for it to find the right installation, otherwise even if you install somewhere else, it'd still be built for the found installation.
Bottom line is, do not use --with-geany-libdir if you just want to use the built plugin. If you think you need it for this, you actually need to alter the environment so the build system finds the right Geany installation (using PKG_CONFIG_PATH)
