File Open Enhancement?

Post by Kevin-of-NB »

Just a small enhancement I'd like to see implemented. I work with HTML files, often doing mantainance requiring replaces in many files, and for this, TextPad is the best program I've found. However, an enhancement, both to save time and to reduce physical stress, would be to allow you to select "Open" on a directory name and TextPad would open all files within that directory, and follow down directories too.

I don't know if this would even be possible, but would be useful for many people I'm sure.

I can imagine this feature as the "Open" dialog would have an option (a checkbox) named "Open files in folder". Another option would be "Include files in subfolders". And to top it all TextPad should open only the files you specify with a space separated list of wild cards (like in the "Find In Files" dialog).
Another solution for this is a new "Open Folder" dialog with the functionality mentioned.
