Rename dialog to remember previous search and replace expressions

Open panchdee opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

I sometimes perform similar or few different search replaces often so it would be nice if the rename dialog could remember the previously used expression combinations which I can recall easily.

empty the fields, press "cursor down" key. You'll get a list of previously used strings.

Great!! thanks. But it would be more helpful if I could save my own combination of search and replace strings - like in the grepwin presets. This option would still work though. so no hurry. Thanks for getting back to me.

I second his suggestion, specifically because there is added value in being able to name the expressions for easier later comprehension of their purpose, and to be able to group Match and Replace expressions together.
