    I could embed images into source code. A picture is worth a thousand words, sometimes. Given the so-called modern age we live in, it's appalling that IDE's like Visual Studio don't support this natively. Ah, but there's this: ImageComments - Visual Studio Marketplace[^] Dang. I'll have to try that.

    I think a well written comment is explanatory enough to not need a picture comment. I also see the file size getting unnecessarily big(assuming that the pictures are actually ported to the source code for other people to see the comment on a different system, otherwise what's the point). What happens when the image is not there anymore? Interesting thought though. :-D

      Used correctly, I can see this being a nice feature. That said, my immediate thought was for inserting a not so nice image where a 'feature' had to be added to account for a client with special requests or handling a bizarre one-off edge case. If my computer screens actually captured and saved my reactions there would be more than a few with the double-bird. :laugh: How about some emoticons to show how you were feeling when you wrote/rewrote this code block, or fixed someone else's code? :)

          The thing is, a picture vs. "Notice the return values on this transaction, where RC == 0 but Status is 2, vs. the second transaction, where RC != 0 and Status is 1". I just want a small picture of the 4 columns and two rows involved. And while I agree with you, there's the other factor -- comments are not necessarily read. A picture is hard to ignore and draws you into reading the explanation.

                      Absolutely. In fact, even the well-written comment isn't needed, because the code explains itself.

                        I've worked with IDEs for apps where you can attach pictures and zip files. As long as the people making the attachments aren't idiots (and they invariably haven't been), it's an extremely fast and helpful way of explaining what's been done.
