list of IDs, multiple files

Perhaps I am alone in needing this on a regular basis, but it is so vital in XML that I thought it should be a standard feature. There should be some way to easily list the IDs used in a file. I know you see the IDs in the outline, but all the elements and tree structure make it hard to use for reference when pointing to IDs elsewhere.

One step further would be to get a count of how many occurrences of each ID type are found in a project or folder. At the moment ive had to write a perl script to do this.

Hello,

The search available in the dialog Find/Replace in Files will be improved in a future version to allow specifying an XPath expression as in the search dialog applied to the current file. This will allow you to find the ID attributes in multiple files with only one search operation.
