WildEdit Feature Request
Posted: Wed Mar 30, 2005 3:28 pm
Love the product!
Maybe I'm missing something, but one thing that would make my life easier is the ability to simply search in files without replacing the found text. I know this is possible in TextPad (and other tools) but the search criteria box is quite small for anything other than a small regular expression. The ability to parse the regular expression prior to execution would be a bonus along with the ability to easily save the regular expression. It would also be nice to have a right-click context menu allow me to open WildEdit for the specified directory; E.g. C:\foo\bar [right-click] "Search With WildEdit".
This is how I can see the UI:
* Add an option/check box to the group that says "Find Only"
* Add a control somewhere that would allow me to parse the regular expression
* Add a control that would allow me save the regular expression
* The log window would allow me to dbl-click or use a context menu to perform actions on the found file; E.g., Edit With ...
Thanks and keep up the great work!
