Yes, I find file filtering useful too. Even better, it should be incorporated in search drop-down list. FWIW, I manage now by ' f sett manifest on' and grepping the manifest file.
Apart from common scenarios (don't remember the file name exactly, multiple same/similar file names) you've mentioned, I'd also add a a case of searching in previous commits' manifests. For example, I know there was a file named 'foo', but someone renamed or deleted it. It would be useful to be able to locate the original file and then jump to its history, so you can see where is it now, annotate/blame etc. Cheers, Steve P.S. BTW, Fossil *does* search in the code, if you set the document search to '*' (or *.c or *.rb etc.) It needs the links to be named properly though, and have them force MIME type to 'txt', as discussed here (points 3. and 4.) : http://www.mail-archive.com/fossil-users%40lists.fossil-scm.org/msg19455.html ---- Original Message From: jungle Boogie Sent: Friday, 27 March 2015 10:12 To: Fossil SCM user's discussion Reply To: Fossil SCM user's discussion Subject: [fossil-users] file-filter branch plead Hi All, drh, Is anyone else interested in the file-filter branch seen here: https://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/timeline?n=100&r=file-filter I find it very useful because I may not always remember the path... Thanks to Fossil being backed by sqlite, we have a great search feature but it doesn't search the files/code section... _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
