Remember "Find in Files" directory at workspace le
Posted: Mon Jun 12, 2006 12:56 pm
I would suggest to store "Find in Files" options at project (workspace) level.
The rationale is that I have multiple projects, often including similar or even same filenames.
Storing the "Find in Files" directory at global textpad level + some inattention from my side, sometimes makes me editing a wrong file (of another project).
Just a sample session to illustrate the problem:
Working on projectA in directory d:\projectA:
Find what: foo
In files: *.4th
In folder: d:\projectA
... found symbol "foo" in "d:\projectA\bios.4th" ...
... Edit & Save d:\projectA\bios.4th ...
... Close Textpad ...
Now I open another project/workspace in directory d:\projectB:
(This project also includes a file "d:\projectB\bios.4th")
Find what: bar
In files: *.4th
In folder: d:\projectA (!!! the "wrong" project directory, my inattention)
... ==> found symbol "foo" in "d:\projectA\bios.4th" ...
... Unintentionally Edit & Save d:\projectA\bios.4th ... !!!
The workaround I'm using is to set the In folder to the current directory ".", but from to time I'm forgetting it and edit wrong files of another project ...
Thanks in advance, regards
