I didn't examine the code carefully for when its used, but I noticed [goto-tag](https://github.com/geany/geany/blob/d54b2a899dca95639fa6f52d5e16034498c332d9/src/symbols.c#L1648) has [document_open](https://github.com/geany/geany/blob/d54b2a899dca95639fa6f52d5e16034498c332d9/src/symbols.c#L1696) and so does the popup_item_activate() when a list is displayed so I assumed that it did open the file, or at least there is an intention to open documents if the tag has a filename even if it doesn't work? Of course that would be tags from ctags format files, not tagmangler files. > I would personally avoid creating TMSourceFile for global tags and would > prefer having some filename member of TMTag if we decided to implement it. With all due respect to your adopted baby, I personally would prefer to throw the binary, Unicode dangerous, tagmanager format under a truck and use e/ctags format, even if it means using e/ctags to write the files. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3379#issuecomment-1407515775 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
