Highlight #5 - Advanced search & replace
🕑 Added 2018-05-02 16:07:24 +0000 UTC The new version 3.5.2 will be a massive fix for the most annoying problems. Aside from solving bugs, we're improving existing functionality and extending its capabilities. One new feature is the Advanced search.On this function, you can search and replace strings in various places at same time. Available scopes are 'All projects', 'Current project', 'Current file', 'Open files', 'Files in File system' and 'Code symbols'.
Unlike quick search, which is meant to be simple and faster for the current file, it has more freedom and more options, like file filtering patterns, so is a lot more powerful. This function can search and replace even on closed files!
Custom search & replace
The default search mode is the common 'by string' type, but each engine module can register its own custom search functions. M.U.G.E.N. module offers one more: Lazy syntax fix.
This custom search looks for 'Lazy keywords', those the engine don't enforce grammar correctness.
On this screenshot we can see the Issues list before and after the custom search & replace on Kung Fu Man. This type of search also respects the scope, so this can be performed on multiple files at once.
This feature is another great time-saver!
