Looks clean and nice. Let me try this.

Could you please add this to the plugin gallery [developer.qt.nokia.com] ?

Thanks!

Tobias Hunger done!

Hi Vass!

nice work. I did something similar a little time ago as you mentioned. The problem is that I cannot make the code public available at the moment, because of company policies :(

However I just skimmed through your code and I have the following suggestions:

• do not create a new Outputpane but use the one that is used for build issues. (see QtCreator’s ProjectExplorer::“TaskHub”:http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-creator/qt-creator/blobs/master/src/plugins/projectexplorer/taskhub.h ) You can then benefit from the already existing navigation feature to navigate the todo items and jump to the todo item in the code.

• The Items in the build issues are so called tasks [qt.gitorious.org] You can use this class instead of creating a new class that does the same.

• make the plugin configurable, so that you can configure the pattern for the todo item comments (todo, bug, fixme, hack etc.)

ok so long for the moment. If you need more information or some help, just ask.

Regards,
Markus

Hi Markus!
1. I think new pane is good idea for me, because I planning show all entries in project in the future.
2. Navigation will be added – it’s simple.
3. Plugin settings also in planning.

Thank you for your offer to help.
I have a question.
Now file parsing is very slow and simple, I think must use Find plugin for parsing, but I don’t know how I can it.
Any ideas?

P. S. Sorry, my english on basic level.

Hi Vass,

concerning the file parsing:

• you do not need to open the file for your plugin again. In your slot “currentEditorChanged()” you can do the following:

Thank you, Markus! It’s good!

… but then you do not get the project wide TODOs, only those in the currently open files. I am not sure whether that is what you want or not.

I would like to second Markus suggestion to use Tasks and the Build issues view. That way you get instant access to the TaskHandler infrastructure used to implement the functionality seen in the build issues context menu/navigation. I would consider “Blame” TaskHandler to be very useful in the context of TODO/HACK items:-)

It would be pretty trival to add a “Mark as done” TaskHandler, too which would trigger a quickfix to remove the TODO comment…

The downside of using tasks is that — at this time — they do expect a error/warning/other kind of severity and that the icons are hardcoded based on this severity.

Thank you, Tobias, for your opinion, I shall think about it.

Vass: Feel free to contact me if you need enhancements to the task class;-) I am happy to discuss your requirements.

Hi Folks! I update my plugin.

Recent changes:

• Plugin settings available
• Task window or Todo pane output selector
• Scanning all file in project or only current file selector
• Keywords editor
• Locale support
• Bug fixes and new bugs :)

Please, use and test it, and report me you suggestions.

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?

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.
