At startup, Geany loads the 15 first files from the last time, Geany was launched.
You can disable this feature in the settings dialog(see <a href="ch03s05.html#confdialog_gen" title="Figure 3.2. General tab in preferences dialog">Figure 3.2, “General tab in preferences dialog”</a>).
If you specify some files on the commandline, only these files will be opened. But you can
find the files from the last session in the file menu. There is an item "Recent files". It
contains the last 15 recently opened files.
</p><p>
If a C file(with extension is c, cpp, h, etc.) is opened, a global tags file is
loaded once, which contains many function declarations from the glibc and some other
libraries, like X, Bonobo, Gnome, GTK, Glib and so on. These declarations are used
for call tips and auto completion. These tags are only useful if you are writing
C or C++ source code. So if you know, that you don't need these things, you can skip
loading this tag file. To do so, start Geany with the argument "-n" or "--no-ctags",
for more information see <a href="ch03s02.html" title="Commandline options">the section called “Commandline options”</a>.
