Thank you :)

Can you tell me what happened? I forgot to recognize the dependency on
genutils, but I hope you have it installed, so I wonder whatelse the
problem could be. Did you have the window open and were you able to
start typing the pattern? With my regular huge tags file, it takes
forever to find matches, but if you create a specialized tags file, it
is very fast.

Did it not work even after that?

Are you talking about running globpath()? This is possible, but won't
recognize path entries with "**" etc.. I will try this out and see how
it works out.
