Feature Requests (Find in Files, File Association)

[Boy_123]

First of all, great job to the spyder developers.
I'm loving it so far. I have switched from Eclpse,
because it's consuming too much memory.

Not sure if this is the right place to post this.
But anyways here are some of the features that I would love
to be included in future releases. :-)

1. Find in files:
- 'Here' combobox must be able to store search path history.
It's just kinda annoying that I need to to set it every time I need
to
find something elsewhere
- For non reg-exp searches, a 'case-sensitive' checkbox would be nice

2. File Association
- Basically I can't open files from within spyder if file extension is
not recognized
(i.e. 'tac', which is just a python code from the twisted library)
- Probably file association can also be made configurable similar to
PyDev

3. Project Explorer
- Probably a horizontal scrollbar can be added
- I'm working on a small screen and for files in 'deeper'
directories,
I need to resize the project explorer pane to see them

Thanks for your feedback!

The combo box should be saving the search path history, that is a bug
if this is not its current behavior.

I must confess that I never use this search mode in "Find in files",
as I'm working with projects: in this case, searching the PYTHONPATH
is the simplest way to search all your files (when you don't work with
some of your projects, close them and they won't contribute to
PYTHONPATH).

That's a good idea indeed:

I've opened an issue for this:

Please do not hesitate to open issues when you have new feature to
request or unknown bugs to report.
Thanks,
