how to find #todo

In the Dolphin4 tutorials I found the nice trick with the #todo as a marker.
Unfortunately I can't manage to find the #todos in only my selected package
or class. I always find ALL #todos in the image, and there are a lot.

I have some suggestions.  First you could sort by package or class, then all
the #todo methods for your package would be together, this is even better if
you prefix your package names.  For example all my personal packages start
with a CJD prefix, that way they all end up sorted together.  The next idea
would be for you to use a prefix on the #todo in your methods, ex: #jrtodo
for your own marking.  Then you will only find your methods.  The symbol one
uses can be any valid Smalltalk symbol, there is nothing special about
#todo.  The last idea would be for you to make your own tool to further
filter symbol searches, it probably could be added to the existing tool with
out much trouble.

To find #todos only in your selected class, locate a method in that class
that has a #todo (or create one), then from the Method menu:

Browse>Local References To>todo

As Christopher suggests, to locate #todos within a particular package, you
can sort by package name in the Method Browser (click on the 'Package'
column header).
