[oXygen-sdk] Find/Replace in Files: Is there an event triggered before Oxygen tries to replace a string in a file?

[Radu Coravu]

Hello Pascal,

We do not yet have such specific API. If this API was available, how 
would you see it look like? Would you like it to give you a separate 
call back for each URL or more like two callbacks, one before the 
Replace All is done  and one after?

But in your custom URL handler implementation Oxygen will request at 
some point an output stream and then start writing to it. Maybe you can 
give Oxygen an output stream implementation which caches content to an 
array and then when Oxygen closes the output stream you could check to 
see if the URL is checked out or not, and if not, ask the end user if he 
wants to check it out. Also using our API you can check if the URL is 
opened or not in the editor.
But this would probably mean that you would ask the end user for each of 
these files... Or somehow remember the user's choice persistently so 
that on the next save that Oxygen attempts at the URL you could check 
out the file automatically without showing the dialog.

Regards,
Radu
