Allow minor find & replace replacements to be optional if no "major" replacements have been made
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

Hi,

When I'm running a find and replace on a page, there are some replacements that are "minor" in that they are not the primary objectives of the replace action. The "Normal settings" form does provide a minor (and after fixes) check box presumably for such replacements. (BTW, I don't know what the minor checkbox is supposed to do; mark the edit as minor if it's the only replacement? Neither the "minor" column header nor the checkboxes have tooltips.)

What I would like is for replacements marked minor to only be executed if "major" replacements have been made previously.

I hope this makes sense.

You can do that by activating "Skip if only minor replacements". Does this not work for you?

Ah! PEBKAC. That works fine.

Thanks.
