More tags

Status: New

Hi,

 

In the CVI IDE I am using tags to mark functions as 'ready'. It would be nice if different tags would be available allowing to simultaneously flag several characteristics, such as 'checked', 'verified', 'tested'... I would imagine differently colored flags, possibly similar to the colored flags available in Outlook.

 

In larger projects this might be a useful feature to add some quick 'documentation' of the development status, and using F2 (goto next tag) to go to the next function that is not finished yet, has not been tested, etc.

 

Thanks.

I'm wondering if it would be more appropiate to create new documentation tags for this, perhaps something like ///HISTATUS that can be filled in by the programmer, rather than changing the behaviour of the editor "F2" tags.  Thoughts?

Thanks for addressing the issue! Actually at present I use regular comments. However, for gaining a quick overview (what should be done next / percentage finished...) I don't consider it optimum...
