some tips!

Post by candyzhu »

Holle! there. I just purchased WildEdit as it is exactly what I need for a current project and it's too painful (for me at least) to search and replace blocks of text using regular expressions in TextPad. I have a few suggestions:

1) How about setting the default for the "In Files Matching" dropdown to the file that's been used to launch WildEdit? Or at least set the default to the extension of this file. Isn't it far more likely that you will be doing mass search&replaces on files of the same type whenever you launch WildEdit?

2) I'd really like to be able to double-click on a file listed in the log window after executing, eg. I do a search&replace on a whole bunch of text files and then double-click on one the modifed files to see the file contents in TextPad.

3) How about color-coding modified files in the log window so that they are easier to identify when mixed in w/other files that weren't modified?

Thanks,
candyzhu
