Can the Find window move the cursor to current found item and zoom in a bit?

I just noticed the find window which is a nice tool to locate files used in a project. But I work on hour long post production projects and right now the find window just selects the item. With a big project zoomed out I can't tell where any found item is actually located. Also if you are zoomed in. the find window selects items off screen without moving the screen view to show what item is selected.

It would be very useful to have the find window move the cursor to the start of the currently found item and zoom in a bit. Then as you keep hitting the next button the screen would continually move to show each found item.

Would be great if its possible.
Thanks.

That would be really useful and a zoom to the selection too :

Not exactly what you asked (I prefer let the edit cursor where it is) but now ( r488 ) the view will be moved to the matching/selected item when "finding next/previous".
I think it replies to this FR so I mark it as "done" but do not hesitate if you have any remark..

note: later, if it's possible with the API, I'll zoom so that all selected items are visible when when "finding all".

Jeffos,

I've made functions to zoom/scroll both horizontally and vertically in Zoom.cpp. You'll have to "export" them to Zoom.h to use, of course. :)

done r496 Find "all" now zooms to found items (while find "next/prev" scrolls to the found item)
