a way to save configuration

[fredv]

Hello,

I'm always using at least 3 pl sql developers opened at the same time.

It seems (at least with v11) that the configuration save occurs when we close the program. But when I change settings on one instance and close it, all my settings seems to be replaced by the settings of the second instance when I close it.

Is there a way to save the settings and let all instances reload them or to disable automatic save of settings when we close the app ?

Thanks

This is currently not possible. Note that this is the same in 11.0 and 12.0.

I have added this to the list of enhancement requests.

I would call it the bug #1 of the application.
Often I need to keep some lists of objects.
I tried to create such lists as items in (defined by me) Object Browser Folder but my work is always being lost.
The application is not thread-safe, so to speak.

Why not write such information to pref files immediately?

Hi, Maxim!

Wouldn't the "desktop" command-line parameter help you? You could have any number of shortcuts, using different "desktops", for each set of windows that you need.

You can disable "auto save desktop", and then use Window --> Save layout (I guess it is View --> Save layout in v12) when you need to update something. There is no reload for remaining open instances, but it shouldn't be overwritten anymore.

Hi, Gustavo!

I am complaining on disappearing settings from [BrowserFilters] and [BrowserFolders] sections of user.prefs, for example.

I am afraid, Save layout cannot do any good here.
According to the Manual, it controls things like 'Presence and size of '.
