[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Load only necessary tags on demand (#2546)

[nick87720z]

I had in mind 3 possible improvements for tag loading:
1. Load on demand only those tag files, whose target files/modules have path ending with string from include/import line. E.g., C include line <sys/types.h> would involve tag files for all headers, whose paths end with "sys/types.h". Of course, if same file presents in multiple dirs, their all tag files would be loaded.
2. Show loading progress. I would never understand what caused such lockdown if did not run geany with --verbose. Progress could be measured in number of involved tag files for current load operation.
3. Parallel load in background, without blocking editor. Ideally this could be also used to load more files when new include/import line added. This time progress would appear in statusbar.
