Sometimes all these new technology advancements take us too much time. I think because sometimes because they are not mature yet, sometimes we are not mature to use them and sometimes they are simply just a hype, a bubble. I remember when I started using RSS feeds regularly, I downloaded even a desktop client (there was no Google Reader yet) only to find out that I was spending too much time digging through all those RSS feeds that supposed to make me more productive! Then I simply stopped using them, freeing myself of unnecessary information clutter. How much happier person I’ve been since then! :)

Do you have an idea when the next version might be with us? As John mentioned, putting it up on google code or something might really help distribution and development.

Thanks for taking a look at this. As I said, this is a really useful plugin.
Assuming you plan to release it as a free plugin, would you be keen to post the source code in some repository? Maybe we can contribute to its development. Just asking of course…

Thanks.

The plugin is great, but for huge solutions, search after each keypress can be painfully slow.

You could add a config option to disable the auto-search, so the plugin makes only 1 search when the enter key is pressed, or add a search button so it is possible to tab out of the search edit and pressing enter with the focus on the button will trigger the search.

Thanks.

- Get focus on the input TextBox and select all previous text when opening a new quickfind window

- Allow for multiple strings separated by spaces: ie input “Xml Parser” and match “XmlFileParser.cpp”.

This is how the equivalent Visual Assist X feature works. Anyway even without those 2 features the addon is extremely useful.

We have about 2,500 files in our codebase and on a decently fast development machine when I try to get to a file I can about 10 seconds between keypresses while Quick Open repopulates the file list.

I would suggest either improving the search algorithm, caching the filenames in between searches, a timer-based wait till after the user has entered a few letters, or a combination of the above.

Your plugin is a great idea; hopefully it can be improved for those of us who work on larger-sized codebases.
