I'm not sure that reimplementing Unix find is something Geany should be doing really. But documenting how to do that in the manual would be a good idea. Supporting CTags format is something on the TODO list. You can 'see' the format in tagmanager/tm_tag.c in the tm_tag_write() function. That is just called repeatedly for each tag entry in the file.
