The absence of that feature is the main reason why I'm not using HeaderDoc right now. If doxygen did that, it would be very useful, because it wouldn't make header files unreadable. At least as long as I can still document select things (like data structures) in the header, while methods are documented in the .m or .mm file.

Oh yeah: Are .mm (or .M) files supported? I.e. Objective C++ ?

- some specific Objective-C relations, such as presenting a list with all
methods of a class including those from categories (if anyone thinks that is
useful).

Definitely sounds useful, as long as the class's main header doesn't need to have doxygen comments? I.e. since Apple doesn't have doxygen comments in NSString.h, I'd like to be able to still document any categories I create for NSString.

- whatever you think of, which is why I invite you to try the current version
and not wait until it is "finished".

I DLed the app, looked at it, and have no idea what to do with it. the GUI is impenetrable and nonstandard. And the "About" menu says it was a tool for generating configuration files. Am I missing some important component of the whole package here?

And why does it use pushbuttons to switch between different panes? And what's with those icons on the menu items? I suppose this is simply a build of an app for Unix or Windows. Any plans for doing a real port and making the GUI less cryptic? Doxygen's power is intriguing, but the words on the radio buttons and checkboxes mean nothing to me. And there aren't even tool tips to give me a vague hint.

Are there docs anywhere that explain this?
