WE enhancement: Test Replace

I find doing a test replacement very non-intuitive, and the only way to perform a test replacement by right-clicking.

1- Can you add a button within the Replace tab above the Text pane to invoke a test replace? I think that's the best place for it; you may even with it to be context-sensitive, that is visible only when the test tab/pane is visible.

Otherwise maybe a toolbar button and/or menu item to perform a replacement would be nice.

2- There are no results for test replacement, that is no N replacements made or anything. Can you add a message to the status bar or append/prepend to the log test replacement results?

Thank you for your consideration. Honestly, I've spent all of 30 seconds with Wild Edit. I could be all wet. But I like the program; it's a more intuitive, efficient interface to doing text replacement in multiple files than through Text Pad.

Thank you,
Drew Krum

Mistakenly I thought replacement could not be done via the menu; the Edit menu has that functionality. Sorry.
