I&nbsp;would like to see the default for the search and replace dialog changed so that 'Current Project' is selected, not 'All Projects'.&nbsp; And also I&nbsp;would like to see two Edit menu entries:&nbsp;Search (when the Replace option would be set to none)&nbsp;and Replace (when the Replace option would default to Replace).&nbsp; I have not had a disaster yet, but it is too easy to make a mistake.

It’s getting really annoying that a new search defaults to ‘in all projects’. I have never found a need to search for something in all loaded projects.

I have changed this for the next build… I’ll post a link to today’s daily build later today.
