Why restrict to specific Filetypes?

Open mihawk90 opened this issue 9 years ago • 2 comments

Hello :) First off, really like the extension, I used to have a similar feature in my old editor and I'm just so used to it :)

One thing that bothers me though is that it seems to be restricted to specific file types, so when working with other files I just get a blank window, without a notice or anything. I first thought the Extension was broken now, but then I saw in some issues that there's apparently only some file types supported. My specific issue are SQL/MySQL files which I work a lot with, but aren't recognized by Todo.

There would be two things that I'd really like to see. First, a warning in the Todo Window that shows that the current file type is not supported (just so people don't think the extension is broken, like me). Secondly an advanced option to ignore file types would be nice. Of course this could lead to false positives, finding Todo items in regular code, but that's why it would be an advanced option (with a little note on it or something?). Of course this would be off by default :D

Sounds like good suggestions. I'll try to implement this while looking over using the LanguageManager suggested in #112.

As you are looking into language support, may I request that Markdown also be considered? I'm using MD for all of my meeting notes and being able to leverage .todo would be awesome.
