Find in Files & Compare Files: output not saveable

Post by alamirande »

Greetings!

This is my 2nd enhancement request, of lesser impact than my other one about searching.

In 5.2, the results from "Compare Files" and "Find in File" are no longer saveable as documents. Furthermore, the output can no longer be maximized nor they appear as part the selection from the Window drop down top menu list.

Perhaps this is available in other way? If so, please advise. otherwise, kindly consider reinstating as it was working just fine under 4.7 & older versions.

Thanks & regards.

Even with 4.7.3, I have always selected, copied, and pasted search results and compare results into another text file.

5.2.0 doesn't prevent you from selecting and copying results, does it?

I certainly hope not; that would be . . . ridiculous.
I came in on 4.5 in 2001, moved to 4.7.2 in 2004, moved to 4.7.3 in 2007, moved to 5.4 in 2010, and am excited about 2013. I've said it many times before, and I'll say it many times again: "I love this program."

For saving the Tool Output/Search result:

File - Save as

works.
