How can I set a task in Geany to be displayed in the "task tab" below?


I don't know if this question is ok for this forum, but since I think it is programming related I thought of it better handled here then in the superusers forum. If this is not the case, please move the question to the appropriate forum. Thanks you!

I am using the Geany IDE for coding. To be more productive I installed the Geany plugin package. But somehow I can't figure out how to get my tasks displayed in the task tab.

The description for the tasks plugin is, I quote:

Tasks

The tasks plugin goes through a file being edited and picks out lines with configurable keywords (e.g. "TODO" or "FIXME") in them. It collects the text after those words and puts them in a new "Tasks" tab in the message window. Clicking on a task in that tab takes you to the line in the file where the task was defined.

In my python script I marked my tasks as

# @TODO My Task
# TODO: My Task
# @TODO: My Task
# TODO My Task

But they don't get displayed in the task tab. By the way, I activated the tasks plugin in geany's plugin manager already.

What do I miss?


Solution

  • Silly me: All of the examples above were displayed in the tasks tab after a restart of geany! ^^
