Tobias: Thank you for putting together the QtCreator plugin "digest" that you sent a couple of weeks ago, if I remember well.
I found out about the existence of some of those plugins, including the Doxygen one thanks to your email. This particular Doxygen automatic tags generation issue, for example, has received a low priority review, but I believe that this kind of details make the user experience much, much better. In addition, other IDE already have had those features for a long time. Who enjoys typing the same tags manually over and over again? The same applies to code reformatting? I want to get the astyle plugin working, and will try again some other day. I found this one also listed in your digest email. Thank you for the time and effort putting that information together and sending it for the benefit of all of us. I understand if the Trolls' team has other priorities, dictated by their deeper understanding of the project inner workings et al., but sometimes I wish they had ironed out some of those plugins that I see as most useful. For example, I do not use the Qml features at all at this time, and see them rather as a technical curiosity (until I might need them?). I need to get code documented and formatted quite often though, and so does anyone who uses QtCreator/Qt on a regular basis, I believe. Having to do these type of repetitive tasks manually does little to make us more productive.
