Development 3/3 : Tasks
For v2.16, I've modified the way Tasks work to make it more useful and provide more power in this feature. In addition to only having TODO tasks, you can now how TODO, BUG, and REMARK tasks. Additionally, you can create your own Task types and use them in the editor to markup your own specific tasks.
In addition to different types of tasks, you can now assign a user and status to a task and have that information displayed in the task view screen. So, the following task would identify itself for the user "Ashton" and having a status of "Open":
-- BUG{User:Ashton;Status:Open}: This item needs to be fixed.
Too much to type you say, well, you can now double click on the task item and a task edit form will display with the current task information and allow the user to edit it and have the task information change. Status and Task types can be selected from predefined lists. A status list is provided and can be modified to include other statuses.
All of this information becomes useful when you view the tasks using the Task viewer. On this form you can view all of the tasks for open files and then group by task type, user, status, etc. In addition, after the form opens, it will also look at any editor windows that have connections and look for task items in the text of system objects for these connections. These items will also appear in the task list and double clicking on these items will open the script from the database for the user to view/edit.
The improvements to tasks should make them more useful in managing tasks, bugs, etc in SQL scripts.
