Seeing this text in the promotion for Plyxon... I was reminded that PSD doesn't support bind variables in SQL windows, only Test Script and Command windows. Is there any possibility of this slight being corrected? Thanks in Advance, Stew

For the most part, I agree with the OP: The new grey-on-grey doesn't provide as much info and isn't as easily scannable. On the other hand, wiktorbgu's Window List comparison doesn't match my impression. I think the new Window list looks as-good, if not better, than the old. When there's...

Awesome! I was just glad you able to reproduce it. I hate when I'm the only one that seems to have a problem with software (not just yours!).

Marco, Thanks for the question. It forced me to push the issue around it bit. It happens with new files too. The trick is, it only happens with *named* bookmarks! Attached screenshot shows 1 named and one unnamed bookmark after I indented the text. Bookmarked vs Non I hope that helps. Stew

I noticed something strange with bookmarks in one of my program windows. I don't know how I didn't notice this before today. When I have some bookmarks set, then I select some lines and either indent or unindent: The bookmark icon becomes 2 or 3 marks The bookmark cannot be deleted (it still...

I've used PSD's Template functionality for a long time now and it's works okay for me. I recently installed the Pieces snippet capture/management app (https://code.pieces.app/) and find it very efficient for saving, then searching and re-using code snippets. It's free for individual, basic use...

I stand corrected (and greatly embarrassed). I don't know what my original test was, but it was clearly flawed. I re-tested and found that @koja and the documentation are correct. The bind variables are case-insensitive and I've been doing extra work for decades! It doesn't explain my bad...

I just noticed that this wonderful Compare User Objects tool still shows my package bodies as different due to trailing spaces, even after I enable the "Ignore white space" preference option. Is it just me? I'm running 64-bit PSD v15.0.9.2050

@koja Thanks for the thought. I just tested referencing a page item using lowercase name and the returned value is null. That's what I'd always known as the rule. It would have been frustrating if I'd been careful to do that all these years and it hadn't been true! ;-)

I work in Oracle Application Express (aka Apex) a lot and I regularly copy anonymous blocks from there into PSD for editing (then paste them back). Apex's "variables" (aka Page Items and Application Items) need to be referenced in the format: :UPPERCASE_VARIABLE_NAME like...

Hmm, I knew sqldeveloper was good for something for us PSD users. But I thought it was only for developers on a Mac who didn't want to run Parallels! :-)

Yes. Every time I shut down PSD, then restart it, I have to View->Template List before I can use a template (via the editor context menu). I confirmed that it does NOT behave this way in V14. Please tell me how I can provide more info so you can try to reproduce the error.

@marco - thanks for considering reducing the tab height a bit. I can see your point about distinguishing between windows vs sub-tabs. Personally, I never had a problem with that because the Windows tabs have their colorful icons on the left of the tab name. But I can see how some people might...

I agree with Claus, it's the lack of color coding on the buttons that makes me have to look harder to find the right one. That's especially true when I reduce the icon size to match the menu icons in v14. I don't mean to harp on this, but in my mind, upgrades should improving productivity, but...

I think the title says it all, but here are the details as I see them: I'm in a Program window and want to insert a predefined code template I right-click in the spot I want the template and the context menu displays I move my cursor to Insert Template When I'm on that line, the context becomes...
