<p>That line works.</p>
<p>But then comes the rewind in <a href="https://github.com/geany/geany/blob/master/src/tagmanager/tm_source_file.c#L566">https://github.com/geany/geany/blob/master/src/tagmanager/tm_source_file.c#L566</a> and the tags will later be imported like this:</p>
<p>In <code>new_tag_from_tags_file</code> the function <code>init_tag_from_file_ctags</code> will be called because the detected format is <code>ctags</code>. And in the loop at <a href="https://github.com/geany/geany/blob/master/src/tagmanager/tm_source_file.c#L355">https://github.com/geany/geany/blob/master/src/tagmanager/tm_source_file.c#L355</a> it "only" skips the <code>!_TAG_</code> lines. Please remember, the file has been reverted back to the start. Therefore the skiping loop breaks at the first <code>#</code> comment line and tries to read it in as a tag definition line, which fails of course.</p>
