New plugin: Tasks and line comments saved separately

Open opticcheck opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Currently, you need to insert a comment inside your edited file (such as "TODO", or something else) for the feature to be able to recognize the task inside it. But then it ends up in the resulting file for everyone to see, if that file is uploaded anywhere. What if I just want to share the file, without others being able to see the modifications I eventually want to make? It appears impossible today. This kind of functionality could be useful if you - for example - are developing a website where you are constantly adding to your articles, but don't want to fill the HTML files with comments that everyone could view by "view source" in their web browsers. Basically what I'd like is for the Tasks feature to recognize tasks without having to modify the resulting file for it. Another way (and maybe easier) this could be accomplished is by adding a comment section to the in-built "Bookmarks" feature in Geany. Or maybe this is doable in some other way right now; if so, please notify me, for I have not been able to find it.

Thanks.

I agree this would be a nice feature.

Though probably not as part of the Addons plugin but rather as a seperate plugin as it adds quite some complexity.

I edited the summary to reflect this.
