Nice work!

Every IDE needs this. It is brilliant and just what I was looking for. Is there any reason why this doesn't come with QtCreator?

Prefer the new pane rather than inside build frame like Markus plugin. Glad you guys are working together on it.

Vass: How about doing a merge request to get your work into Qt Creator proper?

vsorokin

Hello Tobias!
Sorry, noticed your comment only now (because of all this "Project Elf" rush)

I will very glad, if my plugin will merge to QtCreator, but I don't know what needed for it.
And now plugin not compatible with MASTER of QtCreator.

I think there are some rules for merge request will be accepted.
If you help me and tell me what I should do for merge, I'll be very grateful.

Tobias, building on the Vass plugin, could something be built to do static code analysis within the creator going fwd? something like the checkstyle or PMD plugin available for eclipse? could be very helpful to the developers

Chetan, Unlikely it's not possible, this plugin is very-very simple.

chetankjain: We are starting to introduce checks static code analysis. Currently most of the prototyping seems to happen in the QML camp: They introduced JSlint like functionality into the QML editor recently.

The C++ engine is prepared ready to add more checks, too, but so far nobody found the time to get down and write some checks.

Of course there is also the quick fixes (in C++ as well as QML) which can even "fix up" common problems for you. There are already some of those, but the UI is not really giving any feedback where you can fix things at this time... Try e.g. hitting Alt-Return on a string constant.

yes Tobias have seen some of the c++ refactor options in creator, will chk on the QML part

I’ve tweaked this plugin in order to make the source code to comply with Qt coding style plus some other changes. This is the repository: https://gitorious.org/qt-creator-todo-plugin/qt-creator-todo-plugin-dsav .

So, I would like to merge the plugin into Qt Creator codebase (Vass agrees, I’ve contacted him before).

Well, the question is what should I do?

vsorokin

I think (but I'm not sure) you need do clone of qtcreator repos, add plugin to your qtcreator repos and request merge.

giesbert

That should do the trick.

DSav

Ok, thanks. Waiting now…

I am using this plugin, unfortunately it does not support Polish letters. When I write "możliwość" in the pane the displayed text is "mo?zliwo??". Could somebody fix this?

It would be nice to somehow give up some filters, now our todo list of the whole project is useless because at least half the items are in external dependencies like google mock etc.
It would be very nice to exclude paths containing certain keywords.

Well we solved it by using a new keyword, an abbreviation from our ticket system as we have as rule anyways to have every todo reference to a ticket to solve it.
