0000120: displaying the number of informations/errors/warnings of files inside the sync bar
msldev could run in a thread something that parses all the files of the sync bar and check for errors/warnings/informations and display them next to the file name with icon.
No tags attached.

I think it would just add unnecessary clutter to have the numbers. An icon next to the script name to warn of errors would be fine, but with the status bar showing the errors and numbers thereof; the suggestion to include the numbers in the sync bar seems redundant.

Perhaps you missed the term 'sync bar' in the suggestion, the sync bar doesn't show anything regarding errors, the bottom left icons are tied to the actual viewed file.

"An icon next to the script name to warn of errors would be fine"

That's the suggestion.

Edit: ok no you didn't miss the term sync bar but:

'the suggestion to include the numbers in the sync bar seems redundant.'

How is it redundant, they are two seperate indications, you need to open the file to view the number of errors it has.

I didn't miss anything. Perhaps you need to read what I said more carefully.
Including the numbers in the sync bar will add unnecessary clutter, in my opinion.
I'd rather just have an icon indicating that there are errors in the file, and then I can click on the file to see further details about the errors in in the status bar, or the Debug Pane if I have it enabled.
I think including the numbers in the sync bar would add too much clutter. I like the suggestion of the icon though.

Focus less on the "redundant" part and more on the "unnecessary clutter" part. There's no need to be able to see at a glance exactly how many errors, warnings, and messages mSLDev wants to tell me about all of my scripts.

Further, when I have a file open then those numbers are now redundant. Try to be less defensive about your suggestion, as I'm simply offering my own opinions.

Finally, do not reply to a reply by editting your own. That's just being silly.

You like the icon suggestion but without the number?
To be able to know there is an error, the parser will be called on the content of the file, which actually is probably meant to called when the file is active (it will update the icons at the bottom and probably some others things i can't remember right now)
My point is that if this is correct, you don't get one without the other.

Just in case, a easier solution could be to color the file in the sync bar in red if it has an error.
