"Replace"-preview improvement
Posted: Sat Aug 28, 2010 11:07 am
I like the new preview for the replace-feature
and have think about some improvements, maybe you
like and want to add them.
1.)
I suggest to add an new "Preview"-button like
[Find] [Replace] [Preview] [Extract]
or as an sub-menu of the Replace-button.
That new button should show an preview of the
current selected file (as it is now)
2.)
I like to see the old and the new text
side-by-side like:
old text
replacement text
.
old text
replacement text
.
3.)
or how about to open an new dialog for the preview
with two scrollable panes, one for the old text
and one for the replacement text like:
Replace Preview
================
old text
old text
old text
================
new text
new text
new text
================
[Close]
That would do an replace for an whole file
and show that with the original text for previewing.
Hope that is useful.
Thanks
