⚙️ Installation

🛠 Features

• View Comments: The plugin displays comments in a chooser window, organized by address and comment text.
• Filter Duplicates: Easily hide duplicate comments found within the same function. Only the first instance of a repeated comment displays.
• Context Menu Entry: Right-click in the disassembly view to access the "Comments" option quickly.

🎉 Usage Instructions

Once you have installed the IDA Comments List Plugin, follow these steps to use it:

1. Run IDA Pro and load a file. This could be any binary or executable you want to analyze.

2. Access Comments: Right-click in the disassembly view where you want to see the comments. Select the Comments option from the context menu.

3. Review Comments: A new window labeled "Comments" will appear. This window shows you a list of comments related to the loaded file.

4. Hide Duplicate Comments:

   • In the "Comments" window, right-click to see additional options.
   • Select Hide to filter out duplicate comments within the same function.

🔍 Understanding the Results

The comments window offers two main columns:

• Address (Segment:Offset): This column shows where in the memory the comment applies.
• Comment: This column contains the actual comment text.

You can scroll through the list to find the relevant comments for your analysis. If you have many comments, the filter option greatly helps in keeping your workspace organized.

📝 Configuring the Plugin

If you need to set a custom path for your IDA plugins:

1. Navigate to your CMake configuration files.
2. Set the path to your IDA plugins directory.

This step is optional. Most users can simply place the .dll file into the default plugins directory.

💡 Additional Tips

• Ensure that you're using IDA Pro version 9.X for compatibility.
• Regularly check for updates on the Releases page to benefit from new features and fixes.
