When performing a find in folder and then replacing all of the matches with
new content, how can I save all of the files.
If I select 'Save All' from the menu the files are not saved. The only way
I have found so far is to press the <Next> button on the find dialog which
then warns me that the files have not be saved and provides a button to do
so. Is there a more direct way to save these changes?

I am also more than irritated by this behavior. More than once I lost changes I made with
a folder wide search and replace because I didn't know when to save where.

That said, I don’t like the behavior myself, but I don’t see any other easy fix for this,
other than introduce UI in the Find dialog that effectively shows a list of files affected
(which is somewhat down on the list).

Coming from TM1 I was not expecting to get asked to save my files from the search and
replace dialog, so I was unsure why I was getting this question. Accordingly I didn't
really pay attention what I was selecting there.

Why can't we stick to the old behavior as it was with project wide searches in TM1:
The search and replace dialog does not mess with saving files, that is something you have
to do when you are back in TM's main window. This feels more natural to me, even
though I can see that there might be problems with that as well. If you want to stick to
saving from the find and replace dialog, at least give it a separate save button or,
preferably, allow us to save all files with a keyboard command (alt+cmd+s comes to my
mind). For me, the current implementation with getting asked when closing the search
window or pressing next really feels like an unnecessary interruption of my workflow.

The main window has no way to indicate to the user which files were modified as part of
the “Replace All” as the find dialog can search arbitrary folders, follow symbolic links,
etc.
