"Open packages" are in Lazarus all used packages. That means used by
package editors, project and IDE.
Let me rephrase that: Packages for which a dialog is visible.
> b) Search in "project and required packages".
Same overkill as you describe above, if you realise that most projects
are dependent on LCL (And it on LCLBase, next LazUtils, next FCL...) and
it is huge bunch of files....
Good point, I hadn't thought of this. See however the above 'for which a dialog
is visible'.
The situation I'm having difficulties with is that I have a project that uses
some packages (I develop the packages). Although they are 'logically' part of
the program, the packages are scattered over a variety of places, since they're
used by other programs as well.
When working, I usually have the program + all relevant packages visibly open
in the IDE.
To do a search is now very cumbersome, since I must repeat the search several
times with 'find in directories'.
(and that happens several times a day)
I could create a monster project and include all files in that. Kind of defeats
the purpose of packages obviously.
My conclusion is that it is one more reason why project group support
(and a related 'Find files in' option) is really a must.
I'll have to dive in my implementation again :(
Michael.
