There are many ways to manage to-do:s. Is there a
possibility to implement a separate TO-DO file
bookmark-wise managing from within DEV-C++ Editor? It
would be great for typing short notes and reminders
relevant to the open project as a whole too as you go.

To be exact:
I would like Dev-Cpp to create a to-do .txt-compatible
file as it creates a .dev file in which all to-dos
would be listed with filenames and line numbers in a
readable (paragraph?)-formated form. It would ideally
allow for additional project-related information to be
included in it as well - for instance a reminder that
an SDL.dll file ought to be included in the .exe file's
directory or in system path upon distribution
installment...

...because I happened to distribute an app completelly
forgetting about it in the heat of pride, being
finished with a game project only to get a couple of
e-mails with bug-reports before I managed to correct
the mistake. It was my sloppy mistake, and since then
I'm using notepad in the background whenever starting
up Dev-Cpp for just such notes to self.

Point being that separated from the code file comment
itself the TO-DO could grow into a very comprehensive
docs file during the development. To take things even
further, the note-list could even end up
click-browseable in a side window like classes?...
Well, I shouldn't be getting ahead of myself. Actually,
I'd be very pleased seeing any separate from code
implementation at all.

Keep up the great work!
