Block Diagram Comment Tracking Utility

This tool will track comments on block diagrams. After launching the VI, select a folder to work with (the search is recursive).  The vi will then open every VI and fetch comments where there is a colon in the first ten characters, e.g. "TO DO: Tidy up code"  The comments are listed and can be filtered by the tag, in this case TO DO.  They can be sorted by vi or comment.  Any text can be used as the tag as the tag list id updated dynamically.  Double clicking on a line will open the vi and highlight the comment on the diagram.  I have found this extremely useful for bug tracking and code reviews.  Please make sure that your source code is backed up before running this tool as it does open your vi's and use scripting properties to search out comments. I cannot be held responsible for any loss or damage caused by running this tool.

If you add the llb to the project directory in the LabVIEW installation directory the utility will be added to your LabVIEW tools menu.

Update v2.1

Now supports folders containing global vI's and VIT's

I think this tool has a lot more to go. Using this specific tool, you can filter the required comments and can be sorted using the function known as vi or comment. It is very easy to navigate and works well for any operation systems.
