Feature Request: Configuration of a set of projects to be searched #6

Closed MartinL0815 closed 9 months ago

MartinL0815 commented 1 year ago

Reason

In our product solution are many projects, but I need regularly only a few to work on their files. Thus I really would like to minimize the amount of files to be searched by specifying the projects to be searched.

Current state

There is no "options page" for this extension. Currently the drop-down allows "\", "\<Browse …>" and the selection of single projects.

Suggestion

So I'd suggest to give FastGoToFile a configuration (In Tools/Options) or a third special drop-down item like "\<selected projects …>".

Options suggestion

If the more complex implementation in the options would be in the focus, I'd suggested to allow to define sets of projects to be searched, allowing in the search-drop-down to select such a set in addition to "\", "\<Browse …>" and the single projects.

Drop-down suggestion

If the drop-down-solution is to be implemented, I'd suggest to allow on choosing "\<selected projects …>" to select in a new window/dialog in a checkbox-list the projects of interest (all, none, probably a search box to filter). As long as the drop-down item is not selected interactively again, this set of projects is used to search for files.

If the "\<selected projects …>" is selected again, the current selected projects will have checked checkboxes, so that it is easy to change a set of projects.

Sidenote

Sincerely I'm not able to help to implement - knowledge and time (40h/week, family and other duties)

A basic version of this feature was implemented and should be in version 1.3 which is now available. Please let me know if you have any issues or suggested tweaks.
