Find in Files: Choose Folder by marking in File Explorer!

Postby x3po » Tue Sep 29, 2009 10:58 am

I was just playing around with Dremweaver CS 4 and noticed a nice feature:

When you select a folder in the File Explorer and then open the Find&Replace-Dialog, then that marked folder is filled in the Search-Dialog as the starting point for that specific search. I think that's a great idea, as you can select a folder with a single click and no need to click through a file dialog, as it is now in WB.

I think that would be a great thing for WB!

Regards.

Any chances that this might find its way into WB?
I often use "find in files", and the possibility to choose the starting folder by a single click (and don't need to choose the specific folder in the open folder dialog) would be a great improvement for this editor!

+1 for this.

Also when working with a project, I sometimes want to search just within a folder (usually within that project).
It would be nice if when switch from a project search to a folder search, that the folder dropdown would automatically update to be the current folder (as list in the project/treeview).

Thanks!

I miss this feature very often.

Another posibility should be the third alternative "Current folder" in addition to "Folder" and "Current project" for the "Search in" radio buttons.
"Current folder" should then use for searching the path of the selected open file.
