Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: LO Writer (Linux): Way to do text search in set of documents?

Hi :)
Hmm, sadly Writer doesn't seem to do quite the same thing as GEdit.

With GEdit i could;
1.  select all 10 files,
2.  right-click to open in GEdit,
3.  do the search in any of the documents
4.  Ctrl z to close that document and arrive in the next automatically
5.  when i open the find dialogue it already has the search criteria i used
in the last document

Sadly with Writer i'd have to copy&paste the criteria each time.  I guess
that's another argument in favour of tabbed UI
Regards from
Tom :)
