Editor: Find->Replace->Show replacement, unused?

Recommended Posts

dandv    0

What exactly does "Show replacement" do?

If "Ask" is off and I "Change all", all occurences are replaced

without prompting, regardless of the state of "Show replacement".

 

If "Ask" is on, "Change all" replaces all occurences WITH prompting,

regardless of the state of "Show replacement".

 

So there's at least one bug here, since the help claims that

"You don't need to watch each replacment, turning Show Replacement

off also turns Prompt on Replace off."

(turning it off didn't disable prompting).

 

BTW, maybe the "Ask" checkbox should be renames to "Prompt on

Replace" for clarity and for consistency with the help. And,

what does "Show replacement do"? If nothing, I would propose it

displayed, highlighted, the new text instead of the old text.

 

Hope this helps,

hi!

 

if you turn show replacement on you can watch the editor replace the strings, turning it off works faster (you dont really need to watch it)

this is out of my former favourite editor QEdit

 

you should try this on a file where the screen moves thru the file while replacing to see the difference

 

as soon as im done with my exams (in about 27 days :P) more work will flow into NDN

if there are some nice features that some other editors have i would like to hear about them and include them into NDN (i will check this as soon as i have time myself, but maybe there are some nice ideas from some users?)

 

maybe theres something mixed up in the help

(which needs an update anyway someday...)

it should say: turning on Ask (Prompt for replace) also turns on Show Replacement
