Can't restrict results to a given subfolder #17

Closed geeksam closed 13 years ago

geeksam commented 13 years ago

Okay, it's a bit snarky to file this as an issue, but I'm about to install "Ack In Project" specifically so I can search an arbitrary subdirectory. "Time to switch to AckMate folks..." (the latest commit message there as of this writing) is nice and all, but 'ack in subfolder' is the one use case I really like -- rather than scrolling past a bunch of stuff I don't want to see, I'd rather not have it appear in the first place.

Ah. Didn't see the other issue of which this is a duplicate.

And it's probably just as snarky for me to point out that both AckMate and ack-in-project are open source and that the responsibility for implementing missing features falls on your shoulders as much as it falls on mine.

If you had bothered to read the usage instructions in the wiki before posting your bug, you might have learned that command-return in the AckMate window will limit the search to your selected folders.

...or, I could've read your response to the other issue I linked to.

/me does walk of shame

Seriously, though, I did skim the instructions, but missed that. Given that I'm at least the third person to ask about this feature, I'll edit the wiki to make this feature more obvious.

Also: responsibility, yes; ability; no. Not even sure what language AckMate is written in. I'd be happy to contribute, but it's probably better for everyone if my contribution is more in a beer-buying capacity.
