Feature request: add a setting to hide or disable the "Replace" button

[agiudiceandrea]

Previously already requested with https://github.com/stefankueng/grepWin/issues/235, which was closed by @stefankueng with the reason that:

the replace button is only active if there's text in the "replace with" edit box

Anyway, on Windows 7 Home SP1 64 bit, with grepWin 2.0.10.1125 (and previous versions), the Replace button is active and clickable also when there is no text in the "Replace with".

It would be great if the "Replace" button could be hided or disabled or if a warning dialog would pop up every time (not only when the backups are disabled) the "Replace" button is pressed.

I'll just make it so a warning is always shown if the replace string is empty.

Hello..

I just tried 2.0.11 and I was able to replace text from a file with no warning, and the "replace with" input box was empty. Is there an option or setting I should enable ??

I'm up for this feature if there's no text in in the "Replace with" input box.. I once before made the mistake of clicking "Replace" instead of "Search" and made a mess.

Best regards!

the warning only shows if you don't have backups enabled

Ok, I had enabled: Don't warn when replacing without creating backups.

hello，I download the source and compile it ，but vs2019 tell me can not found SimpleIni.h， how can I get the file？

[stefankueng]

@GongKiro first, use vs2022. Second: you have to clone the repo recursively to get the submodule where simpleini.h is in. Or since you've already cloned it, run git submodule update --init
