    In the replace dialog add a checkbox for replace in all open files.

    Users often open many files that need the same find/replace command run.  It would be helpful if the user could check a box in the replace dialog and it would perform against all open files.

      It is already there, press CTRL+H and see below Replace all.

        Yes, but you have to open every file you want to replace the text in.  This can take a very very long time.

          Not if you use the 'Search In Files'-plugin.  See http://sf.net/projects/npp-plugins

          The only reason that it might take a while would be if you were opening files in multiple directories.  Its easy enough to open everything in a single directory.
