`I looked hard to see whether this feature was already implemented but couldn't find it. It would be great to have the equivalent to the DOS REPLACE command. Instead of moving a file, the action would be to replace all instances of the file in the directory and its subdirectories in the opposite panel.
I realize I can open a command window to do this, but it would be nice to be able to do it through the TC interface.

Currently it's not planned: Most file formats on Windows are binary, using search+replace on them (e.g. doc, docx etc) would have disastrous results. Instead, try using a multiple document editor with search+replace across documents.

DOS's REPLACE command isn't about replacing content inside the files - it is about replacing files.

A function in TC that does then same as replace with the /S switch does could be usefull.
It is something like the current option in the copy dialog: "Copy to all selected folders/links in the target panel" - but including subdirs in the selected folders.
So all we need is a new option: "Copy to all selected folders/links and their subdirs in the target panel"
