Hiero Find Widget 1.1

This will add a Find Panel to the Window menu. It adds the typical keyboard shortcuts for FInd..., Find Next, and Find Previous. Dock it somewhere and then use the hotkeys to open and start searching. Since Cmd+F is already taken by Hiero's Fullscreen mode option Find... is set to Alt+Cmd+F. Find Next is Cmd+G and Find Previous is Shift+Cmd+G. 

Features:

Search Scope: Search Current Sequence, All Open Sequences, or All Sequences in Open Projects

Search for text in Shot Names (shot name or source media name), Metadata, or Tag Notes

Options: Ignore Case, Use Regular Expressions, Filter Results by Tags

Results are displayed in a spreadsheet  (currently showing name (source name), track, sequence, project, in/out, but this could show anything).

Using the hotkeys or pressing "Find Next" or "Find Previous" will jump to the shot in the sequence and select it. You can also press Enter/Return on the highlighted result to jump to the shot. Select one or more shots in the results and right-click to get a context menu allowing you to Open in Nuke..., Build Track, or create a new sequence from the selected shots. 

Useful for finding and jumping to specific shots, filtering by names, extension, tags... You could search for a specific pattern or tag combination and then Build Track From Export Tag on every one of those shots in every sequence in the project. It will pop up the Build Track dialog for each sequence.

This is a rough start so any feedback is welcome to improve it.
