[Geany-Users] Geany custom tags problems!

[Rue Sixteen]

Hi folks

First, thanks to the developers and community for Geany - amazing editor!

I am in need of some help with customizing Geany. I have a set of words
that I want available when I am typing text files. So I read the
documentation and created a

#############
Modified the [filetype_extensions.conf ] as below:

[Extensions]
...
txt=*.txt;

[Groups]
...
Misc=JSON;txt;

########### - copied the /usr/share/geany/filetypes.css to the file below
and modified.
~/.config/geany$ more filedefs/filetypes.txt.conf
# For complete documentation of this file, please see Geany's main
documentation
[styling]
# Edit these in the colorscheme .conf file instead
default=default
.....
[keywords]
[settings]
# default extension used when saving files
extension=txt
# MIME type
mime_type=text/plain
[indentation]

###############
~/.config/geany$ more tags/txt.txt.tags
# format=pipe
alpha|||
omega|||
gamma|||
beta|||



When I start geany from command line as geany -v this is what i see:
Geany-INFO: Geany 1.27, en_US.UTF-8
Geany-INFO: GTK 2.24.30, GLib 2.48.1
Geany-INFO: System data dir: /usr/share/geany
Geany-INFO: User config dir: /home/myuser/.config/geany

Geany-INFO: Added filetype txt (68).
Geany-INFO: Loaded:   /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/geany/saveactions.so (Save
Actions)
Geany-INFO: Loaded /home/myuser/.config/geany/tags/txt.txt.tags (txt), 342
symbol(s).
Geany-INFO: /home/myuser/Documents/mydocs/notes1.txt : txt (UTF-8)
Geany-INFO: /home/myuser/Documents/mydocs/notes2.txt : txt (UTF-8)


As can be seen filetype txt is accepted, txt.txt.tags is loaded. However it
seems to be loaded for file type (txt) where as my text files come up as
txt (UTF-8). Needless to say my tags from autocompletion don't show up.
However when I tried to set the file type to php manually and saved the tag
file as php.php.tags it worked. The same with setting manual type of "txt"
and loading txt.txt.tags does not work!


Any help/guidance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
