[Feature 2538] Exclude folders from search

Example usage:

  • open Find in Files dialog (as usually)
  • enter your search directories, separate each with semicolon
  • enter directories to exclude with prefix "E " ("e" or "E" , and a space)
    a simple example line: "D:\notepadpp;E D:\notepadpp\PowerEditor\"
    an advanced one: "D:\notepadpp;F:\storage\etc..\bin; E F:\storage\cache;e D:\notepadpp\PowerEditor\"
  • search or replace as usually.

Remarks:

  • can use the search function exactly like before
  • can enter multiple paths to search, and multiple paths to exclude
  • can use "." and ".." in your paths
  • only the first folder can be browsed by folderBrowser dialog.
  • i'm considering to make a fine checkbox tree to replace folderBrowser dialog
    with consistent look and on each Windows version
