Qt Creator Todo/Task Plugin
-
I've been thinking of contributing to Qt Creator and I am considering a Task plugin.
Eclipse has an addictive feature where if you leave a "todo" comment like this: // todo stop coding, enjoy life
It auto populates a task list for you.Anyone else think this is a good idea? Would it be accepted? Is a task plugin already in the works?
Also, what are the guideline for where a plugin like that would go in the GUI?
In Eclipse it's under the source like the 1-4 Build windows so you can use it to navigate
code easily. Or would it have to go in the left panel with Welcome/Edit... or even in the
Projects/File System panel? -
Actually I use a script that extracts the diff to the master branch in git, grabs TODO, FIXME, etc. items from all the added lines in that diff and generates a task list file from that (plus some additional tests I run on the added lines;-).
I then use the tasklist to display all of these "warnings" in the Build Issues tab in Qt Creator. Works great for me... and I actually prefer that to just seeing all the todo items everybody ever added to the code.

You are a wizard and that is a good point. I only work on relatively smaller projects so I hadn't considered that. Let the feature creep begin: It could auto add a timestamp and/or configured username to the comments. That way you can filter on your own, but still see others.

Maybe "this":http://gitorious.org/qt-creator-todo-plugin/qt-creator-todo-plugin will do all work for you? :)
