Besides the implementation issues (that I do intend to address and are 
one of the remaining issues that have kept me from removing the alpha 
label) there’s the user experience with the “Do you want to save?” 
sheet (ignoring that dismissing changes doesn’t undo replacements done 
in open documents).

Would people be OK with Replace All (after a folder search) auto-saving 
changes (for non-open documents)? So it would never ask about saving and 
for open documents, it would do the replacement without saving anything, 
but for documents that have no open tab, it would simply operate on the 
data on disk.

Ideally after clicking Replace All the button would turn into Undo 
Replacements, which would give a way to revert the changes made to the 
non-open files.
