    Hi,

    I love N++, but there are two features I find quite annoying.

    1. Quickfind does not affect Find.
    I typically (in Visual Studio) Ctrl+F3 to mark/find a word and then F3 that further, perhaps in other files.
    Can't seem to do that in N++ without an extra step of opening the Find dialog.

    2. Find in files resets directory.
    Every time i open the Find in file dialog the directory is reset to the directory the the active file is.
    Quite irritating if ii just specified a dir. and want to keep looking in there.

    Have I stupidely missed some configuration thingie?

    thanks
    Per

      This behaviour is changed as you want in the last release.

        How do I change that back to -always- being the active file's directory?

        If I have two files:
        1) c:\www\htdocs\index.php
        2) c:\www\templates\index.tpl

        Open notepad++
        Open 1
        Open 2
        Switch active document to 1
        Find In Files uses c:\www\htdocs
        Switch active document to 2

        Expected:
        Find in Files uses c:\www\templates

        What I get:
        Find in Files uses c:\www\htdocs

        This is a rather small, but unexpected and annoying change in behaviour.
