Hi,
I'm just discovering this software after searching for modern tools to search and replace strings in text files.
This tool is great (looking forward to use it with wildcards or regular expressions...) but one great option is missing...
I'd like to be able to right-click on a folder in Windows Explorer (or any file browser window on the system) and select "Search and Replace with TextCrawler"; it would open TextCrawler with the Start Location field already set with the right-clicked folder.
Much more efficient than opening TextCrawler and using its integrated Browse button... drag&drop support on the Search Location field would be nice, also! (as asked a few days ago by another poster).
Many thanks!
Maxime
Shell Extension open from right-click context menu
TextCrawler 2.1 will have drag and drop support.
You can add TextCrawler to the Explorer right-click "send-to" menu the following way-

This will allow you to open TC with the selected folder.

Re: Shell Extension open from right-click context menu
There is an alternative to Send To - TextCrawler.
The following .reg file does this:
It adds a context menu item "Search using TextCrawlerPro..." when right-clicking on a folder.
The following .reg file does this:
Code: Select all
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\textcrawlerpro_search_folder]
@="Search using TextCrawlerPro..."
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\textcrawlerpro_search_folder\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\TextCrawler Pro\\TextCrawler.exe" \"%1\""
