Limiting search in subdirectories
Submitted by atg2d on Wednesday, 21 March, 2007 - 07:42
Hi is it possible with some plugin or from jEdit itself to limit the search in subdirectories to NOT search in a particular directory and it's subdirectories.
Here is my situation:
I have a mirror of a working site and in it there is a folder where users upload photos and videos. This folder has more than 50000 subfolders and much more files in them. The code for the site is above that big folder, and there are some other subfolders with javascript, css, etc. When i want to search something in my code(all the code javascript,css...) i have to do it folder by folder - i can't use the option "Search in subdirectories" because it will start searching in that big folder too. Normally i would remember to turn that option off, but sometimes i forget and the search starts in the big folder too and the only way to stop it is to kill the java process(which sometimes leads to resetting most of my settings in jEdit to the default ones).
So is there any way to tell jEdit to search in subfolders but not in that particular one and others like it?
Thanks

No Sad
But if You could set the hidden attribute to the unwanted folders, the "skip hidden" option at the bottom of the search dialog should do what You want (hopefully).
