Hi, I'm afraid "Open/Find Resource" doesn't have a finer scope, only the entire project. Since "Open/Find Resource" appears in the contextual menu from the project for folders, it should have had a scope, but this was overlooked when it was implemented. I've submitted a request on our issue tracking tool. Possible (but impractical) workaround right now for "Open/Find Resource" is to search for the folder name first: */foldername* then you can continue to type the file name from within that folder. BTW, there is also the key search directly in the project tree (start typing with the focus in the Project) but that only works for expanded folders (what's visible) and only if you know what the file name starts with (prefix). You must also be pretty quick to type. If you pause too much, it resets. Regards, Adrian On 08.06.2016 18:13, Eliot Kimber wrote:
That's useful to know about turning off indexing, but it's still not quite the feature I'm looking for because the search is not limited to the selected project resource (e.g., the directory I'm looking in).

Hi Eliot,
Open/Find Resource was supposed to be used for this purpose, but it became slow since it supports searching in content (default enabled).
Trying to use "Open/Find Resource" doesn't work because Oxygen wants to index stuff and on my machine that process never completes (or at least it doesn't in the time I'm willing to wait). If you don't care about the content and only need the filenames, you can disable content indexing (that will insure a fast indexing of just the file names): Options > Preferences, Open/Find Resource, clear the box for "Enable searching in content".
Now you can use "Open/Find Resource" to quickly locate the file by file name. Indexing should finish in tens of seconds (less if you have few files) the first time. The second time it will be much faster, so it should be transparent from that point on.

I have a data set that has a large number of cryptically-named files in one directory, from which I need to find the one .ditamap file.

What I'm looking for is really just a simple filter on the contents of the selected directory.
Is that feature there somewhere I haven't noticed or is there a way to find this file in the project view?
Thanks,
