Well, I didn't mean to start a discussion, although it sometimes is

Anyway, when we find in files, currently, we get a list of files on the
bottom panel. From there, we can open those files, one by one, and
replace the strings. Which is, to say the least, very time consuming.
Of course, such a feature involves risks. I'm not a developer, coder,
programmer or anything like it, but I know for sure that, before doing
such an operation, even for a single file, I should make a backup of all
it's involved.
If this feature where to be implemented, maybe a suggestion to the user
or even an automatic backup for undo operation could accompany it.
It was just an idea. I'm using command line to do it (find, sed, bla,
bla), as I know what I'm doing. I just thought it would make life easier
for gui users. :-/
Sorry for disturbing!
Not at all. I agree it would make life easier (for me too), and asking
about it might give "someone" a nudge to implement improvements here. If
I get some time I might have a look at the difficulty of implementing
the two things I mentioned that you echoed (easier to open all files
with matches[0] and global undo operation for "replace in session"). No
promises though :)
Cheers,
Matthew Brush
