PTP/Photran/WishList

Requests from Users

• Copy launch configurations when copying project - https://bugs.eclipse.org/345071
• Fortran source code formatting - https://bugs.eclipse.org/303347
  • Add "Correct indentation" (adopt from emacs?)
• Run enhancements (I/O redirection, launching shell scripts) - https://bugs.eclipse.org/118966
  
• Photran-specific "convert tabs to spaces" option - https://bugs.eclipse.org/250819
  
• Intel language extensions - https://bugs.eclipse.org/304269
  
• Spell checking - https://bugs.eclipse.org/313688
  
• Support STRUCTURE and RECORD (DEC extensions) https://bugs.eclipse.org/249539
  
• Support vertical limiter also for free-form Fortran (e.g., column 132 in gfortran by default)
  
• Highlight unused variables (similar to Java)
  
• Support content assist for members of derived types
  
• Extend "Add ONLY clause to USE statement" refactoring to work with all modules in a source code selection, not just only a single highlighted module. While refactoring module imports, preserve formatting (i.e., case of operators' and imported functions' names)
  
• Add a support for some type of a documentation, e.g. generate a commented out list of all local variables so they can be easily annotated.
