Description Tomas Mysik 2013-04-17 10:03:16 UTC 
It would be great, if anyone could use "Go To File" functionality directly from the code - for example, we now have an indexer for Sass/LESS files that only collects these files (and does not parse them). If we will implement this enhancement, we can remove (likely not only) this "collecting" indexer.

Thanks.

Tome, do you think that this issue could be fixed for NB 7.4? I am asking because if yes, there would be no reason for fixing issue #228645.

Thanks!
Comment 2 Tomas Mysik 2013-04-23 06:45:20 UTC 
Tome, it would be great if API client could provide more file extensions (e.g. "*.php,*.phtml") and/or a MIME type (AFAIK this is currently not possible in the Go To File dialog) so we would avoid multiple reads from index.

Thanks!
Comment 3 Tomas Mysik 2013-05-30 10:08:59 UTC 
Tome, we do not need this functionality for NB 7.4 so have this issue fixed for the next release is totally fine (at least for us).

Thanks.

It would be nice to have this implemented so issue #244732 could be solved properly.

Thanks.
