CodeLite IDE

Hi,

When i go to fin in files dialog, we have an option to replace search candidates (find replace candidates). But no option is provided to mention the word to replace with. if i want to search for "a" & replace it with "b", where should i specify b. the same for find dialog.

Just click 'Find Replace candidates' and see what happens ...
if you will click it, you will see all the results in the 'Replace Results' tab at the bottom.

There u will be able to get a 'preview', a place to enter the 'replace with' and more

I enterd the text to replace & found that there is only replace all.
now i was wondering what to do if i want to do only for few occurances & there was no replace but.
so was researching on this 5 min & forund that
double clicking on the occurance would replace the work.

isnt it be easier if i have a replace button along with replace all.

TIA

1. The "search /replace in selected text" doesnt do anything. I think its same as find next.
a. even though i have entered some text in "replace with" field in "replace results" window, then select search /replace in selected text & then press enter. it just moves searching "find what" word.

2. Shouldnt the replace with field appear right below the replace results tab.

When 'Search / Replace in selected text' is enabled, the 'Find Next' is disabled, so it can do the same. You need to have selected text to use it.

You are mixing 2 operations here: 'Find Results' and 'Find/Replace' dialog are 2 different entities. setting the 'replace with' in the 'Replace results' has NO affect on the 'Find/Replace dialog'

By default, enter moves to the next control. If you want to perform the 'replace all' click 'Alt-A' or click the button - anything other than that, please submit a bug report / feature request.

Do you mean to move the text area and the buttons to be above the list of results?

---static text here
---replace with:[ ] [Replace all] [Clear]
---list of results

Then why does 'Search / Replace in selected text' appear in find dialog

So, if find and find/replace are different then keep it different. Why are u bringing replace word in find dialog.

You are correct, this entry should not appear in the 'Find Dialog' only in replace dialog

last I checked, 'Replace with' only appears when I open the 'replace dialog' (Ctrl-H), starting the find dialog (Ctrl-F) has no 'replace with' field.

The best mailing list, is the SVN one, where u will get detailed information about what was changed
