Search in a Directory (Third time’s the Charm)

So for all two of you who have been using my Search in a Directory bundle, I have a new version, that has been substantially improved:

  • a massive rewrite that successfully handles closing the window during a grep
  • some UI tweaks
  • an all-around improvement to the underlying code

I am also in the process of adding support for skipping certain directories (the current version skips .svn directories by default, but I want you to be able to turn on and off skipping Rails directories).

Download the bundle today!

    Curious why this is showing up under the planet.jquery feed?
    Just judging by the post above this is a Rails application, maybe more than it is a jquery plugin or something?
    I’ld love to be able to search a directory with some jquery plugin.
    Just guessing that there may not be a majority of jquery users running any rails apps, maybe I’m wrong.
    Is this rails only programming?

    Actually it’s a Textmate plugin. Textmate is used by jQuery developers as well as Rails developers (and developers in many other languages).

    However, the reason it’s on Planet jQuery is because Planet jQuery is a jQuery Aggregator, which aggregates blogs of people who say things about jQuery. I’m pretty sure I got added to that aggregator because I’m on the jQuery Core Team.

    I just installed the new bundle, but when I do the keyboard short cut, nothing happens. I have verified that the short cut is correct. Any ideas?

    But if I delete the bundle and reinstall the previous version (which was working) now it doesn’t work either, so I think the problem is with my TM, not the bundle.

    Steven, If you ping me I can try and help troubleshoot. There’s some secret logging I do behind the scenes, and can help determine what’s going on.

    Cheers for this. Just downloaded and it’s working great.
