The mode switch buttons
The two buttons, Browse and Edit, enable you to switch between two major functions: file search and file editing.
The first mode (file search) is the standard mode in which you can search files and replace text in them. After you click the Search or Replace button, the programme starts the search session and displays results in the Report Area. After that, you can select any text file in the report tree and click Edit. This will set the application in the file editing mode and the full featured text editor is displayed instead of the Report Area. You can edit the selected file as you wish: insert and paste text, perform cut and copy operations, undo and redo actions. After you finish editing, you can click the Save button on the editor toolbar.
To revert back to the standard file search mode, click Browse.
The progress indicator
The progress indicator serves three different functions.
When processing files
The relative amount of files processed and to be processed. In some circumstances, the indicator may show value less than 100% after the processing completes. This means that not all files in the search folder satisfy the search parameters.
When viewing files
The progress of marking matches in the Browser view (effective for large files; if the number of matches is few, the progress is not displayed as the process is very fast in such cases).
When downloading remote files
When you click on a remote file to view it, or if you click Edit to edit a remote file, the indicator displays the download progress. If you click Save in the text editor when editing a remote file, the indicator displays the upload progress.
The session control buttons
The two buttons, Search and Replace are used to start the search (and/or replace) session. If the Search only box is checked, no replacement will occur.
The Help button displays this help file.
