Description mariusz_m 2012-01-12 08:37:59 UTC 
The Task List window included in Netbeans releases (C++) for some reasons won't find any keywords like TODO, FIXME etc in the source code, no matter if selected Current File, Current Project, All projects. Even when manually run by Refresh menu, it scans, progress bar is visible, but nothing is found.
This feature works great on Microchip MPLAB X Ide version of netbeans, but not on Netbeans 6.9, 7.0 or 7.1. 
This is weard, because new versions appears, yet this addon is still not working.

As nobody intend to answer, I provide the screen shoots.
Can anybody help me with this? Am I the only one who has tasklist nonworking ?
Comment 4 Jesse Glick 2012-03-14 15:30:14 UTC 
Screenshots are not of contrib/tasklist, they are of the standard (supported) tasklist.
Comment 5 Jan Peska 2012-03-28 09:22:03 UTC 
The problem is that C/C++ files are not scanned by netbeans scanner by default so the Task List can't scan those files. 

You can easily access this functionality using Tools/Options/C and C++/Project Options/Support indexing of non C/C++/Fortran files is ... Checking this option will fix your problem. 

See the duplicate issue for more info.

Wow! Thanks a lot! It's hard to believe i didn't try this option. I thought it is for syntax purpose only.
