[oXygen-user] Finding Files in Project View

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Adrian Buza)]

Hi,

I'm afraid "Open/Find Resource" doesn't have a finer scope, only the 
entire project.
Since "Open/Find Resource" appears in the contextual menu from the 
project for folders, it should have had a scope, but this was overlooked 
when it was implemented. I've submitted a request on our issue tracking 
tool.

Possible (but impractical) workaround right now for "Open/Find Resource" 
is to search for the folder name first:
*/foldername*
then you can continue to type the file name from within that folder.

BTW, there is also the key search directly in the project tree (start 
typing with the focus in the Project) but that only works for expanded 
folders (what's visible) and only if you know what the file name starts 
with (prefix). You must also be pretty quick to type. If you pause too 
much, it resets.

Regards,
Adrian
