When doing a search and replace across an entire project, I would like to see the message window display all the files changed or at least the total number of files changed or at the very lest a message saying it is finished!
A list of files changed would save me from having to leave the editor to open the Windows Explorer and sort on date to see if all the files I expected to be changed actually where changed.I have not found a way to change the sort in the built-in file explorer. Am I missing something?

Re: Search & Replace reporting
It is possible to change the sort order in the built in file expolrer.
Right-click in the file list, but make sure you don't actually click on a file, and you'll get a little menu where you can change the sort order.

Something like this? like the one in Expression Web:
So, the message pane at the bottom of the screen can be used to display the results.

Thanks for the tip on sorting - it will be of some use - now if we only had a scroll bar at the bottom of the file explorer so it would be easier to see the date column.
Yes "ringoffire"- that is exactly what I mean and the message window is where the results should appear - in my opinion.

I just posted another thread about this, not seeing this one at first. I agree too!
