Manages TODO tags left in code for future improvements. It doesn't use and database for storing the tasks but rather than that, it uses comment lines that start with TODO: string.
A ToDo tag will be a comment line beginning with 'todo:' string and followed by a decription of what remains to be done there. You can place such comment lines anywhere in the code and you can find them easily with this add-in.
Example of such a line:
'todo: place the code for paste here
(see the picture, it contains such lines of code and thw way they look in todo list).
**** NEW in v1.4:
-minor toolbar changes
**** NEW in v1.3:
-the number of tags is shown in add-in's window titlebar
-toolbar can be aligned to the left or to the top (new option in options dialog)
-the grid doesn't contain an empty line anymore
-last column always took the entire grid space
-reduced the flicker associated with grid refresh etc.
