Clear Find history

[Dennis R]

When I use Edit>Find to locate mulitple occurrences of a string, it seems that every file I have ever opened or searched appears in the box under "Additional Files:".  How can I selectively clear files from the list that appears?

Hi Dennis,

The following answer to your question is the same answer i send you over e-mail. I am posting this again for the benefit of the rest of the community.

I noticed that the files listed in the find function are files that are currently open in the workspace as well as files that are linked to the project. To clean up this history make sure that you only have one project open in the current workspace and that there are no "ghost" files floating in the background. Also, in your project directory there is a cvibuild folder that contains the build.ini file. Open this file and review the contents listed under the "Include Header" (mostly include files). If this list if fairly extensive, all those files will show up in the Find function….. there is no way to avoid it.

In order to make sure no old projects are included in this find operation, remove all projects from the current workspace. Close the workspace and open a new one. Open your project in this new environment and see if that fixes your problem.

Dennis,

Try setting "Directory" in the Find dialog to the folder containing the source files for your project, check "Don't Search Subfolders", and don't check any of the individual "Additional Files" displayed.
