    is there any way to open all the files listed for a File Search?
    this would be very much useful in scenarios where we have to replace a text in multiple files.
    1. File Search the text-to-be-replaced
    2. List of files having the match is listed in the dialog.
    3. [REQUIREMENT]right click on the dialog and select Open All to open all the listed files.
    4. Switch dialog to replace mode.
    5. enter the text-to-replace
    6. Choose 'Replace all in all openend documents'
    7. bingo - finished

      This really would be usefull.
      It can be a righclick-menu or an 'Open All Files' button.

        I agree completely. This would be very useful. Any chances of getting it implemented?

          Yes it very long sometimes to open all the document manually..
          Someone can do that?

            Yes, I can do that.
            Please send all your documents to me.

            If you are so impatient, perhaps you will make any progress by searching the forums for similar messages yourself.
