There are no options yet and I don't expect them to arrive before 1.65. > Put another way, now that Find is using the same [I assume] code as > Replace, it *could* have the same options as the Replace dialog... It could but I see this as something to evolve over time and would like to get engine stuff (blocking or threading or extra process, buffering) worked out first. There will probably be some problems with the code. I just realised that the GTK+ version doesn't quote (slashify) the search string which is passed as a command line to the extra process so will fail when the search contains " amongst other problems. The code used to find the SciTE executable on GTK+ appears fragile and possibly forking or threading would be better. > Also, since the intention seems to be that both "internal" and > "external" versions of "Find in Files" are to be supported for at > least some amount of time, then this means two versions of the dialog > - one "with" the cool options and one "without" - or just one with > some disabled options if the user is still using the external find? We never produced a version of the external find in files able to handle options. I expect the options (once they appear) will be disabled (greyed) except for internal find in files. Unless someone wants to do the work of handling all the possibilities for external find as discussed before. > And how about changing the SciTE find.command property DEFAULT setting > so that the internal find-in-files is selected? Not until its been through a release cycle's worth of experience. As there are no options yet, there are things people will be accustomed to having available from findstr / grep that will not yet be possible.
