Search and Replace in selection

I am really missing the posibility of search and replace in a selection.
I have two scenarios:

  1. Select a number of lines in the string view and replace only within this selection.
  2. Use a filter to limit the list of string shown and replace only in the filtered view.

In either cases I would need an option to search and replace within selection.

Passolo Ideas 'Replace' dialog box with 'Selection' option highlighted under 'Find in' indicating the ability to search and replace within a selected range of text.

  • I know it's an old post, but I'd like to push Lars' idea once more. Please add option "Selected strings".
    "Selected resources" is not specific enough. If I select or filter some strings and replace in "selected resources", some unselected strings within the same resource will be changed that I didn't want to change.

  • Great, I'll be looking forward to that.

    However, I don't find my suggestion in your list, because I want to replace only in selected strings (not in the tree view).

  • Hello Lars,

    We have improved the Search and Replace functionalities in Passolo 2018 by adding specific places to look in and replace:

    • „all string lists” – to look for all the string lists of the current project

    • “all open string lists” – to look only for the open source or target string lists from entire project

    • „all open string lists in current tab” – to look only for the open source string lists in the current Source tab or target string lists in the current Target Language tab

    • „current resource” – to look in only one selected resource from the Resources Tree view

    • „selected resources” - to look in multiple selected resources from the Resources Tree view

    Best regards,
