Search directory should be aware of File Browser plugin

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When the File Browser plugin is enabled, this plugin should set the directory 
to search to the root directory of the File Browser plugin. If you can make it 
as a setting (in the configure plugin dialog), that's would be great!
Many thanks for this great plugin.

Hi,
Although I'm not a GEdit plugin developer but after searching around, I found 
that the plugin SnapOpen integrate quite well with the File Browser plugin. I 
attached the source code of the SnapOpen plugin, it's just a Python file. Here 
is the snippet that SnapOpen get the root directory
# FILEBROWSER integration
    def get_filebrowser_root(self):
      base = u'/apps/gedit-2/plugins/filebrowser/on_load'
      client = gconf.client_get_default()
      client.add_dir(base, gconf.CLIENT_PRELOAD_NONE)
      path = os.path.join(base, u'virtual_root')
      val = client.get(path)
      if val is not None:
        #also read hidden files setting
          base = u'/apps/gedit-2/plugins/filebrowser'
          client = gconf.client_get_default()
          client.add_dir(base, gconf.CLIENT_PRELOAD_NONE)
          path = os.path.join(base, u'filter_mode')
          try:
              fbfilter = client.get(path).get_string()
          except AttributeError:
              fbfilter = "hidden"
          if fbfilter.find("hidden") == -1:
            self._show_hidden = True
          else:
            self._show_hidden = False
          return val.get_string()

Hope that help :)

Thanks for your information. This feature is implemented at v0.7.0. Check the 
"Root Follow Filebrowser" option in plugin configuration dialog to enable it.

I think you misunderstood my idea. The current implementation is automatically 
set the directory that contain the document in the active tab 
('/data/Projects/Evolus/Groovy/TouchCats/TouchCats-trunk/grails-app/conf'). But 
what I mean is it should set the root folder of the file browser plugin 
('/data/Projects/Evolus/Groovy/TouchCats/TouchCats-trunk/').
I've also attached a screenshot for better description.

You must check the "Root Follow Filebrowser" option in plugin configuration 
dialog(Edit->Preferences->Plugins->Advanced Find/Replace) to enable this 
feature first. And you should't check the "Directory follow current doc." 
option in advanced find/replace dialog or the directory path follows where the 
current active document is.
