Description eakle 2000-08-08 01:55:54 UTC 
I select a file system folder in Netbeans Explorer, and then select Find... off
its popup menu.  That brings up the "Customize Criteria" dialog.  Useability
problems with this dialog: 1. I have to click into a field before I can begin
typing (I would like it to position me by default in the "Substring" text
field).  2.  When I've finished typing my search criteria, I have to click the
"Search" button (I would like to just hit Return).
In summary, I would like the folder-search behavior to be:  / select Find... /
type search text / hit Return/, so no mouse action is required after selecting
the Find... menuitem.
One additional problem with this dialog is that its case-sensitivity is
different from "Find" in the source code editor.  This dialog performs a
case-sensitive search (and I don't see a way to control that).  "Find" in the
source code editor, however, performs a case-INsensitive search (a better
default, IMHO). The source code editor's search also has a "Match Case" toggle,
and I would like to see this also available in the file system Find...

I've fixed the first - after opening the customization dialog first editable
component should be focused now.
As for the second - this should work (and works for me), "Search" button is the
default button.
And the third - case sensitivity setting is on our list of planned features...

Comment 8 Marian Petras 2003-03-25 13:50:26 UTC 
All of the described issues are fixed in NB 3.5:
- focus is in the Substring field after the dialog is open
- button Search being the default button once a string
  is entered in the Substring field
- case sensitivity check box
- case insensitive search is the default

If you find a problem with any of the above, file a new DEFECT.
