Auto-updating 'to do' explorer

Hi

 

Often when I implement a .vi I start by implementing the main functionality, and there after handles error scenarios such as timeouts, overflow etc. Between implementing the main functionality and the error handling I write a 'todo' text so I remember to handle it later on. Wouldn't the world be a better place if I could have a window open that would list all these 'todo' items nicely sorted by Folder/.vi and when clicked on and item you would be brought right to the spot?

 

Here is an example of a C# project from VS2010 using ReSharper:

Todo.png

 

The window should simply search for text occurrences of the words 'todo', 'bug' and 'not implemented' etc. This is a nice tool I use a lot in VS2010 and it would be really nice to have similar functionality in LabVIEW so I won't have to do manual searches all the time, which by the way does not give the same overview as a separate auto-updating window would.

Note that that idea is marked as being In Development, which probably means it will be in LV 2013, which should come out in August. If you want to see it before and provide feedback on it, you can ask to join the LV beta program here - http://www.ni.com/beta
