[rubberduck-vba/Rubberduck] daFreeMan created comment on issue #5518: Notify of redundant @Ignore annotations

> Yeah, I'd like this one, too. I've found quite a number of false positive inspection results over the years and have put in `'@Ignore <inspection>` to clean up, but the error has since been fixed and they're now useless.

Somewhere, I thought I'd submitted an issue to be able to have the `@` annotations show up in the ToDo explorer (when configured by the user), which is what I was intending to use to find these no longer necessary `@Ignores`, but now I can't find that issue. This _would_ be

@Vogel612 ^^ that was for you... dunno why it doesn't seem to be a ping to you...

it was a ping to me, no worries :)

Whew!

looks like 'twas a good weekend for the ducking! 5 new releases, excellent!!

Just curious, is it possible to get this info (available by clicking on the AppVeyor link on the release page)

somehow shown here on the release page itself?

in particular, the middle line "(Annotate Declaration Command)" so we've got an idea what the release fixes without having to click through to another page and close a tab or backup the navigation?

Yea there should be some way to bodge that into the information we generate...

There is an environment variable available that should have the commit message in there, which we should be able to use in the appveyor.yml to generate that message

That would be a nice bonus, but not absolutely necessary by any means. It would save a click and a close-tab...

@MathieuGuindon There's no quick-n-easy replacement for MS office and what it can do when augmented with VBA.

I've seen people say Excel & VBA are going to die with Office365 and newer products but don't see it happening.

@IvenBach they've been saying that for last 20 years or so.

I’ve been under a rock the whole time then.

And I probably don’t listen to well.

Nor has Microsoft.

*You need Excel Online! You need Javascript! You need cloud!" has been their response, by large.

Personally, I like Aldo. Crunching gets old after a while.

Aldo?

Thought it was Alpo.

I always get it mixed up.

#TIL Nestlé owns Purina, which in turns owns Alpo.

wonders if the Nestle's crunch bars and Alpo come from same factory

I'm not really surprised, TBH

I now think the current day "Foo begat Bar begat Bazz begat Buzz begat Crumplemaggot begat ... " has become "Alen was acquired by Ligget & Myers was acquired by Grand Metropolitan was acquired by Nestlé which anounced the acquisition..."
