[Free] TODO list from your code

[lacost]

Hello, guys.

Yesterday I was searching asset store for some simple todo list. All I found it’s just some kind of cool task managers.
So I desisted to do some simple TODO list with will be generated from your code.

Here is the first beta version. I will appreciated if you could test it on your project, and give me some review. Generally I looking answer for this questions.

• Is it useful for you? Should I put it on Asset Store?
• If so, how do you think what price will be good for this extension?
• What additional functions do you want to see there?

And here is extension overview.
It will parse your code (js/cs) and will build TODO list according your //TODO notes inside scripts.

As soon as you import this package new menu will appear

Here is how generated TODO list looks like.

Search function

And by double click on TODO note, you will be redirected to your script, on your TODO note line.

I hope to hear your good or bad reviews shortly. Thx for your time.

[lacost]

I like it!
Add more tags, for example: to fix, replace, and others.

How do you sujest teggin system to work?

Something like, if TODO note has “fix” inside than note will have “FIX” teg. Is that what you mean?

Have a configurable list of tags stored somewhere (either a preference set outside of unity or a file in the unity project). This way people can create their own. Although TODO is certainly the most common tag of this type, a lot of people use other tags like FIXME, TASK, UNTESTED etc.

PS Yes its useful, if you added a few more features I would happily pay a small amount for it.

PPS That assume its works without (too many) bugs WIll be testing soon.

JohnnyA, that is interesting idea. Thx

Ok I got it, tegs should be

But here is to main idea how to implement taging.

1. Auto tagging. "if TODO note has “fix” inside than note will have “FIX” teg, etc;
2. Extension search not only for //TODO but for any custom keywords like FIXME, TASK, UNTESTED, with can be configured.

[AShim-3D]

Allow user create tags themselves like on Twitter.
Script search construction
// #
and create dropdown list with , , …

example:
// #TODO comment
// #FIX comment

P.S. Add script extension (.cs / .js)

[lacost]

Thx for idea. I guess it will be submitted on asset store today with suggested features.
Besides I want to add some kind of ordering features.
And of course new version will be available here fo free, until asset store review.

Great stuff. This is perfect for those people like myself that forget things within 5 minutes. Would happily purchase an upgraded version with other options like those listed above

Very nice, Lacost. I would definitely pay for this functionality. As I constantly have about 800 things in my head at once regarding things I need to do (especially with the scripts), and inevitably forget about half of them, a tool like this would be very nice to have.

I like the suggestion made by JohnnyA and Ashim for configurable tags. That would be awesome!

[lacost]

Thx for kind words.
I will submit it to asset store today with configurable tags!
