Searching Templates

To search all templates or all searchable files in an extension for some text:

1. Choose the "Template→Search Templates..." menu command.
2. Enter search text and check whether or not the search should be case sensitive.
3. Click OK. All templates or files where the text is found will be added to the "Search Results" section and the first found text will be selected. Click on other templates or files in the "Search Results" to see the found text in those templates or files.
4. The search will look in all searchable files. It will not look in the properties tables.

When editing a single template, you can use standard MacOS methods to find and replace text in that template or file. The searching method above is when you need to search all templates and files.
