"Search in plugins" could keep its state

Hello Christian !

I have a suggestion:

It would be great, when the checkbox "Search in plugins" in "Find Files / Plugins" would keep its state between two searches.

Background info:
I'm a developer using Subversion as revision control system. Subversion creates a directory .svn in every directory of my source code tree, which contains the base version of my files.

So when I search my sources with TC, I get the files twice - my working copy and the base version from the .svn directories. I set up a plugin that ignores the .svn directories to prevent this.

It's quite annoying to have to switch to "Plugins" and click the checkbox "Search in plugins" every time I hit Alt+F7.

Best regards

Petr Sulla

Hi,

the idea behind not restoring some search options is that users don't want to perform the same search again and again. Well you seem to be a user who wants to do this. Fortunately there is a solution. The search provides a way to save your search options. Press the "Save" button and type a name for your search options. TC 7 introduces a new simplyfied way of loading your search options. Just put the command
LOADSEARCH mysearchoption
on a button or use it in a user command to load your search settings instantly. You can even reassign Alt+F7 to a user command.
