Some enhancements/features

Post by juergen »

Hello,
first of all: I LOVE TextCrawler. It's by far the best regular expression batch software I know. And I need it almost daily.

There are only some things I would really love to be reworked. Nothing buggy, just some thoughts to help me (and maybe others) with the daily work.

All my ideas refer to the Batch Command mode
- Load/Save - When loading a batch script the first time, editing it and you want to save it, TexCrawler does not memorize the file name. This can be a problem because I use 4 different scripts for different purposes and I don't want to accidentally overwrite a wrong one.
- Extract - Even when no results are found the scratchpad pops up. That is not necessary
- Batch Editor - A search functionality would be nice. I have one script with 300 lines and have to open an external editor to find/edit the right lines.
- Batch Editor - Once the batch editor is opened you can't use the build in Regular expression tester. It would be nice to open the tester from inside the editor so you don't have to copy your expressions from the tester, close it, open the editor and paste.

General Ideas:
- I miss an update information function. I had to visit the forum to see that there is a 2.2 version.

Maybe you can find some time to build this in? Would be wonderful
Regards

Glad you like TC. Thanks for the suggestions - they sound reasonable to me, and I'll look at getting them into v2.3.
