    2 questions about the application title

    I strongly disagree! I use Windows 10 20H2 and most applications display the title left aligned! I use PL/SQL developer via remote desktop and the application title is completely obscured by the remote desktop connection bar on top. Version 14 displays the title left aligned, too. BTW, the icon...

    Curious problem with "Shell..." sub-menu and keyboard usage

    There is a curious bug when I try to open the "Shell..." sub-menu only using the keyboard (not the mouse) in the "File Browser" window. When I open the context menu for a file with the dedicated key for that on the keyboard and move the selection to the "Shell..." item at the bottom, the...

    Beta 3: default editor color is totally unusable!

    I managed to partly solve the problem. It required deleting all old settings from "C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\PLSQL Developer 14" and "C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\PLSQL Developer 15" and starting completely fresh. The text in question is now at least black and no longer light cyan. However, there...

    Beta 3: default editor color is totally unusable!

    Unfortunately, the fix described in your post does NOT fix my problem. It is not the keywords, comments, strings or any of the other named items that are displayed in light cyan, but the rest which is not covered by any of the Syntax Highlighting settings. Example: SELECT * FROM tablename...

    Beta 3: default editor color is totally unusable!

    Unfortunately the attachment function seems to be broken, I can't add an image of the problem. The problem is, the SQL editor displays all text, that is not covered by one of the options under "Syntax highlighting", in a really ugly light blue color (theme "Sky"). There seems to be no way to...

    Beautifier does not correctly format MERGE statement

    Please take a look at the formatting of this MERGE statement: I see three issues her, two major, one minor: (Major) The DELETE WHERE part of the WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE part is completely wrong! It must be inline with the UPDATE statement. (Major) The WHERE clause of the WHEN NOT MATCHED...

    Content of HTML Manual is not visible

    Thanks for the quick reply! I changed the option and now I see something in the help window. However, the help does not jump to the topic itself, nor does a click on any of the links seem to work. See the attached image, I tried to open the help for the INSTR function. I use the help from Oracle...

    Content of HTML Manual is not visible

    PLSQL-Developer 14: I've build the HTML manual from the Oracle documentation, and the search itself (e.g. for "INSTR") seems to work, I get a list of hits in the Search tab. However, when I double-click a hit a new tab opens for that hit (which is expected), but the tab seems to be completely...

    how to open .sql files without causing new instance

    This is my .tst setting in the registry: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.tst] @="PL/SQL Developer 14" And this is my .pck setting: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.pck] @="PL/SQL Developer 14" The first opens in an existing instance, the second always opens a new instance. So I guess is IS something in PL/SQL developer...

    how to open .sql files without causing new instance

    After all this years, this is still not working! Each time I double click on a file in Windows Explorer or in my version control system a new instance is launched, which takes at least a minute in my case. This is by far the MOST ANNOYING problem of PL/SQL Developer! Marco, how can it be a...

    Color indicator for a connection definition does not work

    The popup hint says "No Connection Match". The only place where any connection information is entered and stored is the "Define Connections" dialog. Database and username are all lowercase. We don't use a tnsnames.ora file, all our databases are accessed with an address like...

    Shell context menu for files in editor?

    This request was added 6 years ago. Is there any chance that it will be implemented in the near future, preferably in PL/SQL-Developer 13? :) It would help very much to working with our source control system.

    Color indicator for a connection definition does not work

    Are there any conditions that must be met to see the connection color? I would think setting the color in the "Define connection" dialog (and maybe checking the appropriate checkboxes in the "Preferences" dialog) should suffice, right? How can I help you finding this problem? I really what...
