[Idea]: Loading faster different presaved filters, just like tabbed categories...

[terablade]

Hi.
Before few days I saw and tested "Analyse Plugin". It is very good and very very useful for my needs!
However, according to my needs, I would like to have faster options to "Load" pre-saved filters (categories).

Let me explain.

• I need a set of filters (#1 .xml) for Android Log filtering (Verbose/Info/Debug/ etc...)
• I need a set of filters (#2 .xml) for Source-Code filtering of my logs (i.e To find & display on code all my logging phrases depending it's type; Log.v(), Log.i(), Log.d() etc... )
• I need a set of filters (#3 .xml) for Source-Code book-marking (i.e. to use a pattern: //@# to special bookmarks I need - simulating the Plugin "Named Bookmarks", but with more information & getting a list of bookmarks in the code with just a search)
• I need a set of filters (#4 .xml) for specific comments / definitions etc in my source code
• Etc etc.

Until now I save each set of filters in an xml file and each time I need to "run" a set of filters (analyse a file) I have to use "load->blah blah blah.."... Not to note that when I start the notepad++ the last "loading" is lost... I (and I guess many others who use that) need this to be done faster!

Thus how about to make GUI of AnalysePlugin to have "Tabs" of preloaded-by-the-user sets of filters (.xml). I mean to click on one "TAB/Category" and to autoload the relative .xml file I've set there, skipping all that "find-to-load-the-xml-file" procedure each time. :)

Also those TABs should keep their corresponding .xml time from the last notepad++ instance that was closed. Thus when I open the Notepad++ next time, all TABs to auto-link with theirs corresponding .xml files, and the last used TAB/Category(-xml file) to be autoloaded to AnalysePlugin.

Further more all TABs could be saved under a super-category .xml file. And the end-user (programmer) to be able to save/load any super-category .xml file he wants, which in turn will autoload in TABs different sets of filters for the AnalysePlugin.
Thus if I am working in a Android Project to load the super-category "Android.xml" which will load i.e. the above 4 Tabs (#1, #2, #3, #4, #5.....). When I am working in a Html/Php/MySql Project to load another super-category "Web.xml" which will load different Tabs for AnalysePlugin. Etc.

How about this idea?
I wish I could help in such an implementation - although I don't know many things about Notepad++ plugins (and I couldn't find how to fork this project in git, to at least try it myself offline).. :/

Thank you for your time :)

Hi Terablade,
not 100% clear if I understood your request:
"tabify the search pattern list and make those loadable"
Would this short cut your request?
