[Geany-Users] Tag file loading fails.

Hi all

I recently had to reinstall after an SSD death. However geany is not accepting my tag files. These are the same ones I used for a long time before. They are in pipe format. I tried loading them from Tools > Load Tags. In the status bar below, it says "Could not load tags file .....". In the debug message it says "Unknown filetype for file ..."

I created a simple file and called it simple.txt.tags and it has the following stuff.

# format=pipe testinga||| dingbat|||

It still does not load and says unknown file type.

What am I missing?

Thanks
