Hi,
I have a tiny suggestion.
For me it is often the case that I have to replace, let's say hex \x0B (TAB INDENTION), with '\n'. If I do it using TM's Find/Replace dialog it takes several minutes for a file with 400 lines and, let's say 4000 occurrences of '\x0B'. Furthermore TM occupies a lot of my CPUs.
If I do the same by using the 'Filter-Command' with e.g. 'perl -npe s/\x0B/\n/g' it only takes a few seconds.
I could image that the speed problem arises if the Find/Replace routine has to insert '\n'.
Yes the problem has to do with the new lines created being processed by the parser immediately. Unless I am mistaken though, this will be fixed in 2.0, so if that's the case then I wouldn't expect any changes before 2.0.
