Description thomas menzel CLA 2012-10-31 17:09:23 EDT 
often one has resources files with lower camel casing (e.g. applicationContext.xml) or other sorts of delimiting words. however, "open resource" dialog only supports upper camel casing, ie finds ATM only ApplicationContext.xml

i propose to extend the matching algorithm to include all kinds of word bounderies, e.g.:

aC finds 
appContext.xml 
applicationCtx.xml 
app-context.xml
app_context.txt
app.context
app context.txt
...

the "quick outline" dialog has gotten support (in luna?) for camel case searching of members that start with lower case.

I don't think so. Can you give an example?

From what I can test in neon at the moment, this seems to work at the moment in both quick outline and open resource. i.e searching for "fP" in FilePicker using the quick outline would result in "filePicker" to be found.

Unless I understood something wrong?

It works for 'Quick Outline' but not in the 'Open Resources' dialog.

I think Comment 3 is exactly what I am trying to say in Bug 536931.  It would be great if that works in Open Resource window.
