Mark a file as reviewed/done/inspected

Answered

Hello JetBrains Team and Community,

I was using Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code for years now. Currently I try to switch my IDE to Rider and I know Rider only a few days and found most of the settings I need. 

What I am missing is the ability to mark a file (mostly a C# Class) as done. Normally I write many classes at the same time to get a better feeling of my design. I am refactoring and redisigning code all the time, but at some point I am sure, thats it.

At this time I do a final Review, add the source code documentation and some comments to remember in a few years. Now the C# class, interface or other files reached „my“ stage final and I would like to mark the file with an Icon, checkmark, color or something else, something Like this: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vquelque.markfiles

I would Like to prevent opening each file to see if the file contains a comment Like „REVIEWED“. The most  convenient way would be to see it directly within the solution tree. 

Kind Regards, Dieter

Hello Dieter,

Thank you for reaching Rider Forum. 

This is indeed a good idea for a tool, and I believe the best way of implementing it would be to develop a plugin.

There are a lot of articles and tutorials about how to develop IntelliJ plugins:

- Rider sample plugin;

- An article about Rider Frontend plugin development;

- Creating Your First Plugin.

Here is a link to the Rider plugin collection. Moreover, we have a Slack channel #dotnet-pluginwriters where our plugin writers can ask Rider/R#/IJ developers. Let me know if you want to be added there.

Otherwise, you may want to submit an issue on our YouTrack bug tracker, so our team would consider this feature for the implementation. 

Feel free to ask any questions. Have a great day!
