In "replace in files" tab the dafault directory in "search directory option" should by the "Root directory" of the project and not the directory where is located the *.ppj file

It works fine for me. In other words, it shows project's root directory, not the directory with ppj file.
To replicate: 1) open Workspace window 2) Right click on the project you want to search/replace in 3) Select "Replace In Files"

Hi ddmitrie you're ok and following your suggestion it works ok, but using Ctrl+R should show the root directory of the "active" project IMO, not the default path.
not?

it should show whatsoever last directory the IDE accessed.
