Total Commander

The editor I use most frequently has a useability feature that is very useful: Whenever you select a Search (For) String from the DropDown, the Replace Text field gets populated with the Replace String that was last used with that particular Search.

TC's behaviour on the other-hand does nothing, the replace field remains unpopulated & displaying <Clear> and you have to manually select the Replace string and try and remember which one you used.

It would be most beneficial if we could get similiar behaviour for the MRT search/replace fields.

When selecting from the Search For's dropdown list, if the Replace field is currently blank it would get populated with the last replace string used with that Search.

If it is a search and replace that you do often, you can just save the search and get a similar effect? Recalling a saved search automatically fills in the search and replace stings, as well as any rename masks and counter settings you might have saved. Look toward the right side of the MRT screen and you should see a Load/Save Search box.

I made one to clean unwanted characters from filenames, while making only the first character in each word capital, and saved it as "Fix Names". Recalling that is far faster than selecting a search string, selecting a replace string, then selecting a choice from the upper/lowercase box. I don't know if this would be as helpful to you, but it works very well for me.
