Thread-topic: Status or Report Window after Application build?
You can certainly request a feature like this, but I don't know that RS
would give it much priority.

On the other hand, if this is something of real interest to you, it's quite
a good candidate for either creating a new tool or for adding to one of the
several source code management tools such as those associated with the
REALsource project.  You might find more interest there or convince someone
to add such features to RB Project Tool, Reality Check, CodeHelper Lite,
REALinsight or some of the other related tools actively being developed by
this informal group.

* Group home page:               http://groups.google.com/group/REALsource

If you wanted to develop a tool of your own to display this type of
information, the REALsource project also includes a ton of opensource code
to do much of the heavy lifting for you, such as reading the .xml or .rbp
project files, creating an internal representation of a source tree, and at
the rate Thomas is plugging away at it right now it looks like a syntax
parser as well pretty soon.
