Description Torbjorn Norbye 2002-08-12 19:53:28 UTC
Currently the source editor scanned tasklist is
cleared every
time you switch source files.

Martin requested that this behavior is changed
such that
the tasklist accumulates tasks from the project.

I suggested the possibility that this accumulation is
on a per-session basis; Martin suggested that it be
persisted in MDR.

Other tools which provide source scanning seem to
clear
out the tasklist on file changes, so I suggest we make
this behavior optional.

See 27355 which was just implemented.
Comment 2 Torbjorn Norbye 2002-10-28 04:21:09 UTC
There now is a scan-directory feature which lets you create a
scan list of multiple files. I have filed issue 28304 to track
the ability to keep this tasklist "up to date" (for files that
are being visited). Between the feature and the enhancement, 
the need for this enhancement (26458) is in my opinion gone, 
so I'm closing this as will-not-fix. Track issue 26458 instead
to see when you get the hybrid scan-this-file and scan-all-files
feature.
